The Logan Museum of Anthropology is home to some 300,000 artifacts, primarily of  Native American origins.  It’s the only museum in Wisconsin dedicated entirely to anthropology.  The museum’s Director Bill Green oversees the collection and is working with his staff  to repatriate Native American artifacts to tribes across North America and at the same time making it an education opportunity for Beloit College students to experience this world class museum.

Native groups around the world, prior to the Nazis, used a symbol similar to the swastika
