D.C SITE FAVORED FOR
INDIAN MUSEUM
The latest round of negotiations over the location of an
American Indian Museum has yielded a tentative
agreement on how to showcase the priceless Heye
collection of Indian artifacts.
Officials from the American Indian Museum in New
York City announced January 25 that the bulk of the
collection will be sent to Washington, D.C. where the
Smithsonian Insitution will build a new 400,000 square
foot National Museum of the American Indian on the
Mall- a part-like area, several blocks long, where other
Smithsonian museums are located.
The Smithsonian also will operate a second, smaller
museum in New York City. Although officials are
optimistic, this agreement is far from final. It must be
approved by the Smithsonian's governing body and New
York State Attorney General Robert Abrams.
As Attorney General, Abram is charged with honoring
the will of George Gustav Heye. Heye, who amassed
the collection of artifacts, called for keeping it in New
York City.
Negotiators feel the second museum, 75,000-square feet
at the U.S. Customs House, will fulfill that stipulation.
Among the other major hurdles to be overcome before
the collection is moved to Washington are Congres
sional approval of the New York State courts which
must protect wills and estates.
This proposal is backed by Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan (D
N.Y.). Senator Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii), head of the
Senate Indian Affairs Committee, is also likely to favor
the plan. Inouye was among the first to propose the
museum be built in Washington.
If an agreement is reached by May, Congress could
allocate funding in the fiscal year beginning October 1.

Entry deadline for the 1989 Grand
Ronde Tribal Pageant for Senior and
