About the Business
The National Native American Veterans Memorial, located in Washington, DC, is a tribute to the enduring and distinguished service of Native Americans in the US military. Opened on November 11, 2020, the memorial features the design concept Warriors’ Circle of Honor by artist Harvey Pratt, a Marine Corps Vietnam veteran and member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. The memorial includes a large stainless-steel circle, a stone drum, flowing water, and a ceremonial flame. Visitors can explore the museum's online exhibition Why We Serve: Native Americans in the United States Armed Forces. Private ceremonies can be held at the memorial, but visitors must adhere to capacity and social distancing guidelines. The museum lights the ceremonial flame on Veterans Day and Memorial Day. The memorial does not list specific names or tribal affiliations to honor all Native veterans past, present, and future. The design incorporates symbolism reflecting Native American traditions and military service. The museum worked closely with Native organizations and veterans to create a space that pays homage to the bravery and sacrifice of Native American service members.

"A place for contemplation and reflection, strangely isolated among the hustle and bustle of the National Mall. It is a place to stop and meditate on the brave service from our Native American veterans."
"I was honestly very disappointed with this exhibit. It was extremely lazy and ONLY talked about how the Native Americans helped the United States of America. The history of the native Americans was completely disregarded and lacked in importance. The museum was so empty, there were hardly any paintings, pictures or sculptures. Do not recommend! :("
"The Native American veterans memorial is a must stop when you're in DC and particularly when a visiting the national museum of the American Indian! It's a very brief walk-through but a very spiritually intense place to set and just quietly ponder the sacrifice of some of our nation's bravest warriors! There is not a public restroom at the monument but I'm sure you could step into the museum next door. Admission is free at the museum!"
"The museum enjoys a unique collection of paintings and sculptures of masters like Van Gogh, Rafa ale , De Vinci to name a few. It also has wonderful photographs of various American states in the old times . Like California, Colorado,Denver etc. They looked so different from the present scenario. It also has an exciting collection of heritage furniture. These displays make the visit so fascinating that one sometimes loses the sense of time."
"It is always honorable to stop and take a moment to reflect on, and be thankful for all the soldiers that have fought and died in the name of freedom, especially those that never got to live to see a grateful country recognized them for their sacrifices."
