Native procession
Native communities from throughout the Western Hemisphere are being invited to participate in a procession on the National Mall on Sept. 21 to commemorate the opening of the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). Thousands of native peoples are expected to participate. The procession will be followed by the museum's opening ceremony and a sixday Festival of the First Americans. All participants must register by May 31 in one of the following three categories: Native Nation, Organization, or Independent. Due to heightened security and the large number of guests anticipated, only registered participants will be allowed in the procession. Registration forms and more information are available at www.American Indian.si.edu/procession, or by calling toll-free at 877-830-3224.
