Join us in honoring Native American artists whose work is represented in Mia's collections by creating or enhancing Wikipedia articles. In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, this event is a great way to make new friends, have fun, and learn something new, while adding content about Native American artists to Wikipedia, the world's largest online encyclopedia.
