Best collection of Native American artifacts I've ever had the pleasure of looking at. The drawings on the buffalo skins are pure Native American drawings....wonderful to read them.

In ShortHere, you'll find a rich, historic building housing an unsurpassed collection of early American Indian artifacts. The museum was founded in 1907, but the collections date back well into the 19th century.

Fun Fact

Museum founder Charles Fletcher Lummis (1859-1928) came to L.A. from Ohio the old-fashioned way: he walked! Articles he wrote about the walk so impressed Harrison Gray Otis of the L.A. Times that Otis hired him as city editor soon after he arrived.
