Enjoy a glass of wine as you tour the exhibition with The Center’s curators.

The history of colonization in the Americas has traditionally been taught as a straightforward story of European conquest of indigenous cultures and expansion across territories already settled by native peoples for millennia. What does this linear history omit? What are the possibilities for reimagining or reinterpreting colonial history from the indigenous point of view? This project revisits American history, offering alternative perspectives and narratives based both in fact and in fiction, including some rooted in the Wood River Valley.

PLEASE NOTE: The May 16 tour will begin at The Center before heading to the Community Library’s Regional History Museum for a tour of their exhibition: Who Writes History? Frontier Voice, Native Realities, an examination of the co-existence between Native Americans and non-native newcomers to the Wood River Valley in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Part of The Center’s BIG IDEA project Unraveling: Reimagining the Colonization in the Americas, Mar 8–May 22, 2019.
