A guided tour of “Our Lives: Contemporary Life and Identities”

“Our Lives” reveals how residents of eight Native communities—the Campo Band of Kumeyaay Indians, the urban Indian community of Chicago Yakama Nation, Kahnawake, Saint-Laurent Metis, Kalinago, and the Pamunkey Tribe—live in the 21st century. Through their
stories, visitors learn about the deliberate and often difficult choices indigenous people make in order to survive economically, save their languages from extinction, preserve their cultural integrity, and keep their traditional arts alive.

We will be meeting at the Grand Staircase to go on a guided tour that will began at 2:30. The tour will be 45 minutes and then we will spend sometime exploring on our own.
