And I want the kids to grow up knowing you can still have friends and be associated with people other than your own, say, white people or your own people.\"\u003cbr/\u003eHe continues to say that Indians contributed considerably to American culture.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I play cowboy so I want them to learn more about the way cowboys were and what they did.

But as the institution matured, as we expanded into one of the great collections of Western and wildlife art anywhere in the world, as we expanded our subject matter into, not only the cowboy and the
