Wheelwright Museum

The Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian hosts changing exhibitions of contemporary and historic Native American art with an emphasis on the Southwest. Main gallery exhibitions change twice a year. Smaller galleries feature one-person shows by Native American artists and photographers, or items relating to the main gallery exhibition.

The museum and the Case Trading Post museum shop sponsor talks, seminars, meet-the-artist receptions, and many other events. A private, not-for-profit institution, the Wheelwright Museum does not charge an admission fee, and most of its events are free.

Korean War

On July 27, 1953, North and South Korea officially signed the Korea Armistice Agreement to end the fighting between the countries. The agreement did not favor either country, both sides were given their own, independent nations and a military boundary line was drawn between the two nations. All of the other countries in the war at the time also withdrew from the nations, and both sides immediately halted any combat on the field.http://news.findlaw.com/wp/docs/korea/kwarmagr072753.html
