I work at the Amerind Museum & Research Center in Texas Canyon, Dragoon, Arizona.

Mission

Established in 1937, the Amerind Foundation and Museum seeks to foster and promote knowledge and
understanding of the Native Peoples of the Americas through research, education, and conservation.

History of the Amerind Foundation

The Amerind Foundation was founded in 1937 by William Shirley Fulton (1880-1964) as a private,
nonprofit archaeological research institution. A native of Connecticut, Fulton became interested in
archaeology as a young man. Several trips to Arizona between 1906 and 1917 captured his attention
in the Southwest's past and present Native cultures. Throughout the 1920s Fulton regularly traveled
west from his New England home, heading into the southwestern mountains, canyons, and plateau
country to explore for archaeological ruins and expand his Native American collections.
