In celebration of the United States’ 250th anniversary, HNOC and the New Orleans Foundation for Francophone Cultures (Nous) have teamed up to copresent the 2026 History Symposium, a daylong multimedia program that traces the shaping of our American identity through presentations, films, and musical performances. The symposium focuses on the years following the Revolutionary War, when cultural exchange and trade, particularly between Native Americans and Francophone colonists along the Mississippi River, changed the perception of what it means to be an American. From folktales and musical traditions to the interplay of nationalism and ethnic heritage, join us as we explore a pivotal era in US history through lively discussion and entertainment.Registration opens on February 23; full schedule to be posted soon.

This program is presented in collaboration with the New Orleans Foundation for Francophone Cultures (Nous), recipients of a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and is presented in commemoration of the United States’ semiquincentennial.
