UNDERSTANDING MIGRATION

Together with the Smithsonian's Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, the American Anthropological Association has developed a public education initiative, World on the Move: 250,000 Years of Human Migration™, to change the public conversation about an important, yet difficult topic-migration and displacement. Through the development of the traveling exhibition and the learning resources on this website, we aim to help visitors recognize that migration is a shared human experience that connects us all.
