Native American exhibit

“Native American Voices: The People—Here and Now,” a new exhibition that challenges visitors to leave behind preconceptions about Native Americans and discover a living tapestry of nations with distinct stories, identities, and contemporary leaders, opens at the Penn Museum on Saturday, March 1.

The interactive exhibit features a wide range of contemporary Native American voices, including artists, activists, journalists, scholars, and community leaders from around North America. They converse in video and audio, sharing stories, poetry, and short essays on issues that matter to them today: identity, political sovereignty, religious freedom and sacred places, language, celebrations, art, and cultural continuity.

The exhibition opens with a public celebration from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., featuring Native American music and dance, presentations by Native American community leaders, arts, crafts, workshops, and children’s activities—all free with Museum admission donation.
