NABA-DC has organized a tour of the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) Archives for November 17th from 9:30am to 11:45am. The tour will be followed by an optional lunch in the NMAI cafeteria provided by NMAI and NABA-DC. This is a great opportunity to see firsthand NMAI’s large collection, learn about NMAI’s repatriation policy, make connections in the Archives for future visits, and visit with fellow NABA-DC members.

**You must be a current NABA-DC member to attend.** This event will be open to the first 20 NABA-DC members who RSVP. We will keep a waiting list if we go over the 20 member limit. Out of courtesy, we ask that you give us 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel so that we can let those on the waiting list know ASAP.

When: Thursday, November 17th
Time: 9:30am to 11:45am (with time on either end for transportation and an optional lunch)
