CROSSING BLOODLINES
The Muscogee Creek Indian Freedmen Band’s exhibition, “Crossing Bloodlines:” An American story of the Estelusti people depicted through photographic images is currently being exhibited at Ralph Ellison Library from January 4, 2014 through January 31, 2014.
The exhibit explores the distinct cultural identities of the Black Indians through photographic images. It will feature Black Indians from various geographical areas, and tribal affiliations. Special emphasis will be focused on the Freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes; Creek, Cherokee, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw. Many of the images tell a story of how the lives of Africans and Indians intertwined as one, a life of shared culture, language, food, and family.
