Indigenous Perspectives

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’s culture today. The exhibition places the voices and experiences of Virginia’s tribal communities at the center of an examination of the Library’s holdings. 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.
