To install new anthropology exhibits which are designed to give an overview of the "Native Peoples of the Colorado Plateau" - specifically, the prehistoric Anasazi traditions and the Hopi and Navajo peoples. Exhibit will also deal with the Hopi and Navajo "world view" and contemporary culture change. Exhibit design will permit scholarly-oriented visitors to study given topics in greater detail through use of drawers containing additional materials and artifacts which are located beneath the display cases.
