The Smithsonian

National Museum of the American Indian

Zahner was selected for the production of several decorative and artistic elements for the new National Museum for the American Indian, a Smithsonian Museum dedicated to the preservation, study, and exhibition of the life, languages, literature, history, and arts of Native Americans. The National Museum of the American Indian is the 16th Museum of the Smithsonian Institute.

Zahner worked with artist Ramona Sakiestewa (Hopi) to produce Copper Screen Wall, a permanent installation in the court of the museum which lines a walkway down to the open space. Copper was chosen to acknowledge the antiquity of the Indian people who lived in the Northeast. Copper was a widely used material in Mound Builder cultures, which stretched from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, east of the Mississippi, over 2000 years ago.
