About this Event
Ben Cunningham-Summerfield (Mountain Maidu of Northern California and Turtle Mountain Chippewa of the Great Lakes Region) and his wife, Kimberly (Tsalagi [Cherokee] and culturally-adopted Mewuk), are indigenous educators and cultural demonstrators. They will be spending time with NUMU’s collections and curatorial team, delving into the indigenous belongings in the museum’s collection and educating staff about the materials, source communities, and significance of each piece.
On Sunday, March 22nd at 11 AM, the public will have the opportunity to hear and learn from Ben and Kimberly, who will be sharing more about themselves, their experiences, and the time spent with NUMU staff and collections, presenting belongings from the collection that are particularly interesting.
