The funds raised from the National Museum of the American Indian’s Inaugural Ball will allow the Museum to produce additional programs, help us correct misperceptions about Native history, and affirm the relevance and impact of Native Americans, past and present. With your support, the Museum can become the national platform for the discussion of topics relevant to Tribal Nations, both in the Museums in Washington, D.C., and New York, and in communities across the country.Comment:  For details on Obama's inauguration in 2009, see Obama's Best Speech Ever? and Celebrating Obama's Inauguration.
