Deadline for Director
Applicants is March 31st
WASHINGTON - A nationwide search is underway
for the first director of the new National Museum of the
American Indian created by Congress in November of
last year.
The museum will be dedicated to the study and
interpretation of American Indian history, culture and
arts. Its centerpiece will be the collection of more than
one million artifacts in New York City's Museum of the
American Indian of the Heye Foundation which began
to be transferred to the Smithsonian Institution here on
Feb. 4.
Deadline for applications for director is Mar. 31.
In a wide and open search, the 16-member selection
committee, named in November 1989, will give prefer
ence to Indian candidates in nominating a director.
Smithsonian Secretary Robert McCormack Adams said
a search committee is looking for "a strong director,
with leadership, vision and sensitivity to the special
character of a cultural facility that will be at once closely
tied to Native American communities and yet interna
tional in the scope of its audience."
Among the first tasks of the director will be to recruit a
talented staff and to develop policies for responsive and
innovative public and scholarly programming for the
museum. The director must assure that the relocation
of the collections from New York to Washington, as well
as their future care and use as a central resource of the
museum, are consistent with the highest professional
standards.
In the initial phase of the museum's development, the
director will oversee the planning and construction of
the museum building itself, which will be located on the
National Mall, and an adjunct storage and study center.
The renovation of an exhibition facility in the Old U.S.
Custom House in lower Manhattan will also be the
responsibility of the director.
In addition to these responsibilities, the search
committee's guidelines state that the director "must be
sensitive to the unique relationship between native
American communities and the national Museum of the
American Indian."
The museum will hold cultural materials of great
historical and contemporary significance to modern
American Indians that represent a valuable resource to
Indians and their communities in their day-today lives.
The Smithsonian announcement of its search for the
new director included requirements in administration
and management, experience in programs and develop
ment, and capabilities in outreach to American Indian
and Alaska Native communities.
Potential candidates were asked to contact Maureen
Robinson, Special Assistant for Recruitment, SI 302,
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560.
