About the Museum of Native American History:
The Museum of Native American History (MONAH) was first established in a downtown location in 2006 as the Museum of Native American Artifacts. The collection quickly outgrew the space, and MONAH opened its current doors in June of 2008. Founded by David Bogle, a registered member of the Cherokee Nation, born and raised in Bentonville, AR., the museum houses over 10,000 of the finest Native American artifacts. MONAH tells the 14,000-year story of Native American history through to the present with the discovery of artifacts, education, and programming.

Spot on. I'm autistic and indigenous so I could go on for days about how the TTRPG industry, as a byproduct of capitalism (and thus colonialism), is rabidly racist, but instead of getting heated I will say “THANK YOU/CHIOKOE/TLASKAMATI” (English, Hiaki, Nahuatl).
I'm currently creating an “Uto-Ezcan Player’s and SG’s Handbook”, because I am Yoeme/Nahua and my wife is Núuchi-u/Nahua. Uto-Nahuatl (or Uto-Aztec) history, culture, religion, language, science (including TEK), and even revivalism are my “special interests”, along with TTRPGs, and for the first time in my life I feel it's possible to happily marry my interests.
