New York's American Museum of Natural History is set to remove two of its major exhibitions to comply with new federal regulations that require consent from native tribes to display their cultural items and artifacts. The museum, which draws 4.5 million visitors a year, will close displays dedicated to the Eastern Woodlands and the Great Plains tribes this weekend.It also plans to cover a number of other display cases featuring Native American cultural items as it reviews its large catalog to assess what is in compliance with the new federal rules, which took effect earlier this month.
