In September 2022, the Houston Museum of Natural Science a renovated John P. McGovern Hall of the Americas opened to the public. It is a living exhibit, emphasizing the presence of Indigenous people in what is now known as the Americas past and present. This is what the title of the presentation refers to. What does it take to re-focus and update an existing exhibit? How does one choose exhibit storylines? Who decides what to display and what not? Long-term Indigenous participation and input is extremely important. How did the museum go about achieving this goal? These and other topics will give all attendees a peek behind the scenes, and hopefully entice you to come visit this permanent exhibit.
