It is very fulfilling to learn about where we people came from, how we got here, who and what directed us, as well as when we evolved into the beings we are. Our predecessors paved the way for us in many aspects. They faced several different types of problems which they had to solve in order to survive, as we do in today's world; however they did not have the technology we have today to guide them in finding the solutions for these problems like we would be able to through the use of scriptures found in the internet, books, and other guides. Not only are we able to study these people (the ones that still remain) in anthropology, but we are able to acquire knowledge about how the Homo sapiens evolved into the myriad of cultures present in the twenty-first century.

We can attend an exhibition, which would help us understand our origins, in a museum such as the Field Museum in Chicago. The one specific tremendous exhibit worth seeing in this museum is The Ancient Americans. This exposition opens eyes for the contemporary commoner through the presented divergent as well as convergent viewpoints of the many indigenous people and anthropologists. The gathered information about these tribes or societies is demonstrated through multifaceted angles, and for this very reason this exhibit allows for the modern mid-twenty American male to be able to interpret this information. This display is depicted this way for the reasons of having the people from the outside of such a culture to be able to compare and connect their lives with the lives of the culture of these Ancient Americans. The curators were considerate about the interest of the public; therefore, they want to ensure the satisfaction and inclusion of the cultures of peoples who reside in today's society, especially due to the fact that we all are a breed of the different experiences of our ancestors. The curator's voices are the responsible medians which fulfill the requirements of the Public Interest Anthropology in these compromising depictions of the indigenous forefathers of the Americas.

We cannot discredit our precursors for the hard work they put in through their diligence and determination; for it is thanks to them that we are able to live in the technologically inclined society of today's world. I believe the ways that this exhibit demonstrates the indigenous people's culture is more than sufficient because it allows for everyone to connect with the culture on one level or another regardless of race, gender, and origin of the person venturing the exhibition. I concur with Sabloff arguing that we need museums because they assist us people to get in touch with our inner self as well as strengthen our interpersonal bonds with the people around us. The curators, visitors and the indigenous people all rely on each other in multiple fashions for survival. The entire system in our world functions as a whole of the parts; we can understand this concept of holism by learning about the parts (other cultures) and comparing them through comparativism. We can do this by exposing ourselves to the different cultures and learning about them through their viewpoints and not our own so to not be ethnocentric.
