    The Institute For American Indian Studies in Washington, United States, offers visitors an educational experience focused on Native American history and culture. The museum features exhibits showcasing artifacts, traditional crafts, and information about various indigenous tribes. Visitors appreciate the outdoor replica village, which provides insight into historical Native American life.
