To celebrate Native American Heritage month, the Census Bureau arranged for a tour through the museum/storage facility in Suitland. It was interesting to see how everything was stored. Most items were stored by geographic location, except the boats, totem poles, and other large objects. There was embroidery work done with porcupine quills, doll clothing made out of animal intestines, bent wood boxes that were only connected on one side, amazingly small baskets, foot-long ear pieces, and so many other fascinating things.
