Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Stunning views of the National Native Veterans Memorial, the newest monument on the National Mall and the first in DC to celebrate Native military serviceStunning views of the National Native Veterans Memorial, the newest monument on the National Mall and the first in DC to celebrate Native military serviceThe National Native American Veterans Memorial marks the first national commemoration of Native American military service. National Native American Veterans Memorial- A Souvenir Book pays tribute to the powerful monument and the American Indians who have served in every major US military conflict since the Revolutionary War, often participating at an extraordinary rate. It pays homage to Indigenous peoples who have made so many contributions and sacrifices for their country.Located on the quiet and reflective grounds of the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, the memorial raises public consciousness of the significant contributions of American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian members of the military who have served in and out of combat for centuries. Native American artist and veteran Harvey Pratt (Cheyenne and Arapaho) designed the Warriors' Circle of Honor, selected for its simplicity and timelessness. The book celebrates the memorial's beauty while providing historical context and exploring the symbolism of its stainless-steel circle, the intimate and interactive space, and striking design elements that convey traditional Native perspectives and beliefs. Capturing the inclusive, healing, and dynamic design and space, National Native American Veterans Memorial- A Souvenir Book gives readers a richer and deeper appreciation of a one-of-a-kind monument.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Celebrate 250 years of American history-and witness the nation's decade-by-decade evolution-in this gorgeously illustrated volume featuring 750 Smithsonian objects.Celebrate 250 years of American history-and witness the nation's decade-by-decade evolution-in this gorgeously illustrated volume featuring more than 600 Smithsonian objects.The 250th anniversary of the United States marks a major milestone, representing two-and-a-half centuries of upholding democracy, building communities, defining freedom, and working to become a more perfect union. In The Promise of a Nation, Smithsonian curators share aspirational stories that have shaped the nation in chapters representing each decade from the 1770s to the 2020s. Smithsonian objects help bring each decade to life and personalize the history, from George Washington's sword (1770s) to an African American volunteer fire company badge (1860s) to Marian Anderson's attire worn at her Lincoln Memorial concert (1930s) to Space Shuttle Discovery (1990s).Each chapter begins with a timeline of major events and census data, followed by an essay that considers American history through a meaningful and often unexpected lens. Gorgeous full spreads feature spotlight objects that tell decade-specific stories and offer important insight into each decade and the American story.The nation's semiquincentennial is an opportunity to reflect on the past with care and curiousity. The scope of American history is vast, but The Promise of a Nation distills it into compelling narratives that speak to the strength and aspirations of the American people and inspire optimism for what comes next.
