Indigenous Perspectives - An Exhibition

Indigenous Perspectives

Dec. 5, 2023–Aug. 17, 2024

Indigenous Perspectives, a new multimedia exhibition featuring reflections from Virginia’s tribes, highlights the commonwealth’s Indigenous history and how the tribes remain a vital part of Virginia today. Indigenous Perspectives explores the voices and experiences of Virginia's tribal communities.

Visitors can view excerpts from video interviews with citizens of Virginia's tribes, archival records from the Library's collection that were collaboratively selected by the tribes and Library staff members, and objects contributed by the tribes — such as eel pots, regalia and quilts — that reflect their traditions and culture. Citizens of the 11 federally and state-recognized tribes in Virginia shared their perspectives on related items in the Library's collections, which include maps, treaties, land records and other governing documents.
