Native american indian art in Novato, California

Welcome to the Museum of the American Indian, a cherished cultural and educational hub located at 2200 Novato Boulevard, Novato, California. Nestled within the ancestral territories of the Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo peoples, our museum stands as a testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of these Indigenous communities. Despite the harsh realities of colonization, mission systems, and historical challenges, the Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo continue to thrive in Marin and Sonoma Counties. At the Museum of the American Indian, we honor the rich heritage of the Coast Miwok, including the Coast Miwok Tribal Council of Marin and the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, as well as the Southern Pomo people from the Sebastopol and Sonoma County area. We are committed to recognizing and supporting their ongoing efforts to maintain tribal sovereignty and cultural integrity.
