Patricia Marroquin is spending 10 weeks this summer as a visiting scholar at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. The new museum, which will open Sept. 21, 2004, will hold more than 80,000 items from Indian communities throughout the Western Hemisphere. Marroquin represents the Eastern Apache and Tarascan Indian Nations. She is involved with research and is helping plan one of the inaugural exhibitions for the museum. Marroquin will work on the project with Ho-Chunk artist Truman Lowe, a nationally recognized sculptor.
