Nordamerika Native Museum NONAM

Follow organizer

NONAM is one of the few museums in Europe dedicated exclusively to the indigenous cultures of North America - First Nations, Métis and Inuit in Canada, and American Indians and Alaska Natives in the USA. The museum promotes understanding of the past, present and future of Indigenous nations, their cultural diversity and diverse art forms. It is committed to a multi-voiced engagement with stereotypical perceptions and promotes dialogue and encounters with Indigenous people of different cultures and spheres of activity.
