A tool to trace indigenous cultural heritage

[PeterK]

he is working with his wife, Anna Naruto-Moya, a former archivist for the National Archives, on a Museum of Indian Arts & Culture project to help people — primarily those from the 23 New Mexico tribes and the Hopi people — access federal records never before available in New Mexico. Among them are documents related to government boarding schools for Native American youth and land issues in the period that lasted from the end of the Indian Wars in the 1800s to the Indian New Deal reforms of the 1930s.

Users of the online archive eventually will be able to annotate and tag the materials.
