About The Field Museum The Field Museum resides on the ancestral homelands of the Three Fires Confederacy: The Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi. The area was also a site of trade, gathering and healing for more than a dozen other Native tribes. Illinois is currently home to more than 100,000 tribal members. Our respect and gratitude to the many Native people who live here today, as well as their ancestors. The Field Museum is an educational institution concerned with the diversity and relationships in nature and among cultures. It provides collection-based research and learning for greater public understanding and appreciation of the world in which we live. Its collections, public learning programs, and research are inseparably linked to serve a diverse public of varied ages, backgrounds and knowledge.

    I have a pre-columbian embroidary that hung in the Chicago World's Fair. It was given to my Great Grandfather by Arlon Higginbothem of Joliet Il. How would I get it appraised? It still has the original fair tags.
