Title

Design Team, National Museum of the American Indian

Description

Douglas Cardinal (Blackfoot), Johnpaul Jones (Cherokee/Choctaw), Lou Weller (Cado), Donna House (Diné/Oneida), and Ramona Sakiestewa (Hopi) were consultants on the concept and design of the National Museum of the American Indian. They represented a pan-tribal coalition that helped to ensure that the design and landscape of the museum captured some of the diverse values of Native American life. Cardinal was the initial architect and project designer. Jones headed the group that led the design architecture, which included Weller. House and Sakiestewa served as design consultants.
