A special thanks to our collaborators. The exhibitions and public programming were developed in partnership with Nancy Chavis, Curatorial and Education Consultant, NC State Ph.D. alumna, and Director of the Museum of the Southeastern American Indian at UNC Pembroke; the NC State American Indian Advisory Council; and the Native American Student Association. Together, they bring museum expertise, community insight, and Indigenous knowledge to the heart of the 2026 exhibition season.
We look forward to welcoming all at the museum for an exciting evening!
