The American Heritage Gallery inside The American Adventure at EPCOT has reopened with new artifacts after a brief closure.
This gallery has a long history of organizing the “Creating Tradition†exhibition, which highlights innovation and change in Native American (or Native American) artwork from different regions of the country.
Each display inside is dedicated to a different region listed on the map.
