In this review roundtable, the essayists offer complementary and divergent assessments of the National Museum of the American Indian's presentation strategies and its efforts to revise and shape popular understandings of Native American history and culture. They also consider the risks and benefits of strong stakeholder participation in the NMAI's curatorial decisions, raising profound questions about who holds, and should hold, the power to reconstruct the past.
