In what ways doesAmerica's settler colonial heritage shape how its citizens imagine the national past? I address this question through a study of county historical museums in ruralArizona, with a particular focus on theNavajoCountyMuseum. This analysis suggests that we consider the "natural history" or "evolutionary" style of organizing collections as integrally tied to a foundational settler colonial logic. Conclusions are drawn about the ubiquity of this orientation to the national past and the difficulties curators may face in effectively challenging it
