This traveling exhibit created by the Smithsonian's Museum of the American Indian recounts a remarkable military history.
Native peoples have participated in every major US military encounter from the Revolutionary War to todays conflicts in the Middle East serving at a higher rate in proportion to their population than any other population group. "Patriot Nations: Native Americans in Our Nation's Armed Forces " is produced by the Smithsonians National Museum of the American Indian and made possible by the generous support of San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.
