On this Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we look at some American museums and how they have acknowledged the occupied land they sit on. In other stories, we visit the Montclair Art Museum’s rehung Native art collection and spotlight the work of Ohlone basket weaver Linda Yamane.

Also today: What turned a middle-class mom into a presidential assassin? And much more.
