This sounds like a really important and fascinating exhibit. The Rupert Costo Library of the American Indian is such a valuable resource, and learning more about its history and the people behind it (the Costos and the American Indian Historical Society) is a must. Thanks for highlighting this! I'll definitely check it out during SCUA's operating hours. And thanks for including the parking info too!
