Discovery Saturday
Discover the traditions and craftsmanship behind a Pueblo drum made by Thomas Herrera (Cochiti Pueblo), along with a water drum and horn rattle crafted by Tahatie Montour (Kahnawake Mohawk / Turtle Clan). Learn about the cultural significance of these instruments and the generations of knowledge passed down through their makers.
These instruments are among several contemporary Native American instruments acquired by the NMM through multi-year grant support from the Clayton & Odessa Lang Ofstad Foundation, Bank of America, N.A., Co-Trustee.
Throughout November, visitors can also explore additional instruments acquired through this support, along with other Indigenous instruments on display in the museum's permanent galleries.
All Discovery Saturday activities are included with museum admission. Discovery Saturdays take place on the first Saturday of each month, offering special programs and experiences for visitors of all ages.
