" Honor Wall...
The Smithsonian Institution is proud to announce an unprecedented program for individuals to help keep a historic promise and make a dream come true:
An opportunity for you to permanently inscribe your name or the name of someone you wish to honor on the Honor Wall of the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) in Washington, D.C., for as little as $150.
Your inscription will appear in our museum on the National Mall, the home of the first museum in Washington, D.C., dedicated to the portrayal of Native life, history, arts, and cultures. The Honor Wall is located on the inside walls of the balconies that overlook the very heart of the Mall Museum —the central welcoming area called the "Potomac." Visitors to the NMAI enter this magnificent space at both the beginning and end of their visit. The word Potomac, in the language of the Patawomeke tribe that once lived in the greater Washington, D.C., area, has a variety of meanings, but loosely translates to "gathering space," "marketplace," or "where the goods are brought in." ..."
