Join us for a free three-part program:
First, watch a documentary clip about Navajo Code Talkers from World War II. We will discuss their legacy, including the Congressional Gold Medal recognition many decades later.
Then, examine an 1836 Cherokee petition protesting the New Echota Treaty, which ceded Cherokee land to the U.S. government. Learn more about how the 1st Amendment right to petition has influenced Congress and key political decisions.
Last, take a guided tour of the U.S. Capitol focused on the ways America’s depictions of Indigenous peoples in Capitol art has evolved over time.
