Inouye named trustee for Indian museum
Hawai'i Sen. Daniel Inouye will be one of the first trustees of the new Museum of the American Indian, to be built as part of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. The newly named board will eventually be dissolved and replaced with a permanent board. The start-up board includes financier David Rockefeller and World Bank President and former member of Congress Barber Conable Jr. in addition to Inouye. These first trustees will choose a director for the new museum. The trustees will also oversee the early planning and design stages of the $150 million museum in Washington, D.C., to be built next to the National Air and Space Museum on the Capitol Mall, and a smaller, satellite Indian museum in New York City.
