In this week's Kaleidoscope with Allison Keyes, we speak with Cynthia Chavez Lamar, the new director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian. Chavez Lamar is the first Native American woman to be named director of a Smithsonian museum. Allison asks her about her vision for the facility, and about the role of museums amid racism and issues such as climate change affecting Indigenous people.
