LIVE FROM THE MUSEUM – CELEBRATING NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH: The Office of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion is promoting this virtual event for Native American Heritage Month.

In partnership with the Aquinnah Cultural Center, join a museum educator live to commemorate Native American Heritage Month. Dedicated to the Aquinnah Wampanoag, the Aquinnah Cultural Center in Massachusetts imparts cultural knowledge, fosters tribal connection, and shares their historical narratives and oral traditions. Together, we’ll explore tribal sovereignty, the constitutional roots of Indigenous relationships, and take a look at the belongings and creations of the Aquinnah Wampanoag.

Speaking with the National Constitution Center’s team will be Brad Lopes, an enrolled Aquinnah Wampanoag citizen and the Education and Outreach Coordinator for the Aquinnah Cultural Center. Throughout his career as a classroom and public educator Brad has sought to help build understanding about tribal sovereignty and how it relates to civics curricula in the United States. With a background in education and museum studies, Brad seeks to help educators implement more accurate knowledge about Tribal Nations and our inherent sovereignty within the education system.

This virtual event will begin at noon. Register at https://constitutioncenter.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Qv1eJf-ST3WZxj6TSm2eWA#/registration
