C. H. Booth Library just opened a Multimedia exhibit: Western perceptions placed upon Indigenous people of North America vs Native American self-expression:
I is for INDIAN
Native American Identity Stolen, Sold, and Reclaimed
Each of us carries stories of North America’s Native People, consciously or not. For over 500 years, Western perceptions have been placed upon Indigenous peoples of North America, stripping them of their cultural, ethnic & linguistic diversity.
This exhibit offers an alternative narrative of Native American self-expression.
As you walk through this room and back out into the world, continue to ask yourself: what has informed your perception of who Native people are? Who is controlling the narrative?
