Yesterday: Spent a few hours at the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) in New York for programs related to their exhibit "Clearly Indigenous." There are no more programs on the calendar, but the exhibit will remain through May 29. The glasswork is beautiful and I highly recommend you see it if you're in the NYC area.

And if you're not? It will be traveling around the country!
