Native Nations Procession

UPDATE: The Native Nations Procession, September 21, 2004, was a great success! Sincere thanks to everyone for their participation in this historic event.

Native communities and non-Native supporters from throughout the Western Hemisphere will join in a Procession on the National Mall starting at the Smithsonian Castle. The Procession will form a highly symbolic journey eastward to the site of the Opening Ceremony, adjacent to the museum at the foot of the U.S. Capitol building. Thousands of people, many in Native dress and regalia, will walk in unison to the stage of the Grand Opening ceremony. The procession will provide an enduring symbol for the dawning of a new era—the opening of the National Museum of the American Indian.

Registration for the Procession may be completed online, by mail, or by fax, using the forms below. Questions can be submitted via phone or email. See the Frequently Asked Questions for contact information and details.

We look forward to having you join us for this landmark day.
