Smithsonian Exhibit for Ritchie Valens
"The National Museum of The American Indian presented "Up Where We Belong" an Exhibit of Native Americans who have contributed to American Music, This exhibit sponsored by the Smithsonian in New York City, presented a wonderful tribute. Congratulations to all the inductees. Connie and Irma Ritchie's sisters attended along with Irma's husband Randy.
On loan to the Museum are Ritchie's Gold Records, Donna and La Bamba, there is also a nice poster on dispaly with Ritchie's photo and information on his achievements. The Museum also opened an inter-active video area where visitors can view footage on all the indectees. For Ritchie there is short documentary with Ritchie's siblings speaking about Ritchie's music and archival photos..
Ritchie's mother would have been proud that her Indian Heritage has been honored through her son and his music."
