Littlefield Helps Plan American Indian Traveling Exhibit

An essay by Dr. Daniel Littlefield, director of 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 Sequoyah National Research, is part of a new traveling exhibit, 鈥淚ndiVisible: African-Native American Lives in the Americas,鈥� which opened this week at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. The exhibit is the product of a number of years of planning and work by NAMI, the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), and the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Center. Littlefield was a member of the planning team who determined the structure and content of the exhibit.聽 His essay, 鈥淭he Cherokee Freedmen:聽 Cherokee Citizens by Treaty,鈥� appears in the exhibit鈥檚 section on community. In the 1970s and 1980s Littlefield published four books on African-descended people in Indian Country and is today considered one of the world鈥檚 leading authorities on African-Indian history. 鈥淪ince the early days of U. S. history, Native Americans and African Americans have been linked by fate, by choice, and by blood,鈥� said Kevin Gover, director of NMIA, said of the new exhibit. 鈥淭errible and remarkable things have passed over and between our communities, as well as the communities we have created together,鈥� Lonnie Bunch, director of NMAAHC.
