Institute of American Indian Arts
Having served more than 3.500 students from most of the 557 federally recognized tribes in the United States, cultural values continue to be the foundation for student learning and personal development. In its 38 years of existence, IAIA has created a living legacy of artistic expression, built on traditional cultures but reflecting contemporary Native life. Because of IAIA's influence, a flood of art now poors out from Indian artists all over America, enriching Indian and mainstream cultures both aesthetically and economically.

The Sherman Indian High School was one of several off-reservation boarding schools opened by the United States government in the late 1800s. The intention of these schools was to assimilate Native Americans into mainstream society. The Sherman Indian Museum, located on the Sherman Indian High School grounds in Riverside, California, not only houses traditional Native American collections, it preserves more than a century of the school's student body history, heritage and pride.
