Native American – Sightworks

Sightworks collaborates with Native American communities, providing assistance in grant writing, project development, curation, design and fabrication for tribal museums, visitor centers and exhibits.

We work closely with each community to assure that their vision and voice are powerfully expressed. We are accustomed to working with tribal councils and advisors and encourage the participation of community members and artisans.
