The story of America is the story of a plural nation. As epitomized by our nations motto. America is a composite of peoples. Our vast country was inhabited by various cultures long before the Pilgrims arrived. Slaves and immigrants built a new nation from "sea to shining sea." across mountains. plains. deserts and great rivers. all rich in diverse climates. animals. and plants. One of the Smithsonians essential tasks is to make the history of our country come alive for each new generation of American children. We cannot even imagine an "American" culture that is not multiple in its roots and in its branches.
