History Makers Workshop - Guest Speaker Series

Tonight we will hear from Frederick and Kimberly, co-producers of the new documentary, Duality: A Collection of Afro Indigenous Perspectives. This documentary is a collection of experiences by individuals who identify as Afro Indigenous from various tribes across the United States. The film will explore the history of the two ethnic groups individually and as a collective via the institution of slavery, food ways, dance, dress, spirituality, legal challenges, marginalization, resilience, state/federal recognition and much much more. The trajectory of the story will consist of various climactic points, most notable is the lack of tribal recognition of members who have African descent.
