The Museum of Northern Arizona in cooperation with the BF Foundation of
Santa Fe,  New Mexico offers internships for Native American College
Students.

A special legacy of the Museum of Northern Arizona is its relationship
with Native American artists, scholars,  religious leaders,  and
communities.  To further this relationship,  the Museum,  in cooperation
with the BF Foundation,  has established an annual program of three
12-week summer internships in museum studies for Native American
students.

Description:
These internships are in integral part of the Museum's Heritage
Program,  which include:  a regularly changing sales exhibition of
Native American and Regional art; the Hopi,  Navajo and Zuni
marketplaces;  and the Festival of Pai Arts.  Along with hands-on
activities,  interns will be involved in a stimulating educational
program. They will spend four days in Santa Fe and will tour museums and
interview staff.  Interns will also participate in two evening
discussion sessions with professionals in the field of Native American
art.  Additional field trips will include visits to tribal cultural
centers and museums.
At the end of the internship each intern is required to write an
evaluation of the program and submit suggestions for future
improvements.  The Museum will cooperate with colleges and universities
to enable interns to receive degree credit.

Applicants must be enrolled Native American undergraduate or graduate
students with at least a 3.0 GPA and an interest in museum studies, art
history, business,  design, public programming,  history,  Native
