At Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art a new exhibit, titled "Changing Perspectives of Native Americans", shows how the American Indians were portrayed by European and early Euro-American artists.


Currently in one of Crystal Bridges' museum galleries there are artworks which reflect the world's shifting attitudes toward American Indians during the 1800s (the 19th century).
