A Virtual Tour of the NMNH: Native Cultures of the Americas
Native Cultures of the Americas Main Page


How did native peoples live at the time of their early encounters with non-Indians? What changes occurred and what traditions endured following those contacts? Some answers can be found in this hall; future exhibits will examine these questions in depth. Here, learn about the staple foods of the northernmost native peoples, adaptations to moccasins, and the relationship between weather and clothing.
