NEW YORK (AP) — The oldest hall at the American Museum of Natural History is getting an update. The museum announced Monday that the Hall of Northwest Coast Indians, which opened in 1899 and hasn't been significantly changed in decades, will undergo a $14.5 million renovation. The renovation will include input from several native communities of that region including the Haida (HY'-dah) and the Tlingit (KLINK'-uht), and is scheduled to be completed in a few years to coincide with the celebration of the museum's 150th anniversary. Curator Peter Whiteley says the renovation will showcase how the native groups of the area continue to have vibrant cultures. The project will include conservation efforts on the items in the collection. ___ This story has been corrected to show the spelling of the curator's last name is Whiteley, not Whitely.Read more on NewsOK.com

  • Ask Amy: Daughter’s Mother’s Day gift is … a stranger
    Denver Post, Sunday - 06/02/2024 - 06:30 AM

    Dear Amy: On this recent Mother’s Day, my 50+ daughter once again asked to bring a new boyfriend to our home for a small family holiday gathering she’d been invited to. We had never met him. It has been a pattern for her to date someone for only a few weeks, want to bring him to a special family event or holiday, when he is a complete stranger to us, and then break up with him a few weeks later. I have said yes to this in the past, but the situation wasn’t comfortable for me and other family members, including her adult children. This time I said no.
