The Museum of Northern Arizona

“MNA works in collaboration with native peoples of the Southwest to protect and foster the cultures, traditions and beliefs of the Colorado Plateau by encouraging artistic expression and supporting, empowering, and educating visitors about the art and cultures of Southwestern Native people.”

I highly recommend a visit.

There are ongoing Programs and Events.

And, of course, browse the bookstore and shop before you leave.
