Creativity is the centerpiece of a new Native American exhibition at the Field Museum.

The Field Museum renovated its Native North America Hall and drastically shifted its focus. The new approach emphasizes story-telling and contemporary art – as well as historical items from the collection. The exhibition space is called “Native Truths: Our Voices, Our Stories.” Producer Marc Vitali visited on opening day.
