A part of the American story has long been invisible-the story of people who share African American and Native American ancestry. Over centuries, African American and Native people came together, creating shared histories, communities, and ways of life. Often divided by prejudice, laws, or twists of history, African-Native Americans were united by a double heritage that is truly indivisible.
Art @ the Y, will open the Smithsonian traveling exhibition “IndiVisible: African-Native American Lives in the Americas” on Monday, April 13 focusing on the seldom-viewed history and complex lives of people of dual African American and Native American ancestry.
