The exhibit will be on display from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Commons area of the Kirner-Johnson Building. It is free and open to the public.
The "Trail of Tears" national tour maps the rich cultural journey of America's first people. The traveling exhibit brings to life several important events and historical accounts which contextualize the Native American experience. Through historical illustrations, photos, literature, video documentaries and authentic artifacts, the beauty of the unique culture of the nations of the Cherokee, Iroquois, Seminoles and Navajo is explored.
The Native American Exhibit (NAE) is a multimedia presentation that showcases the relationship between the Native American past and its present. It examines their gruesome struggle against exploitation, leading to the great death march of the trail of tears. Patrons will also learn about the patterns of the lives of the Native American people with portrayals of their history, crafts, spirituality, technology and how it's incorporated into their daily life.
