About this Event

Voices of the First Peoples celebrates Indigenous voices and traditions in partnership with the Nanticoke Indian Tribe. Join us for a special session for Delaware educators at the Nanticoke Indian Museum, where we'll learn about tribal history, storytelling, and the museum's collections.

Voices of the First Peoples is part of By the People: Conversations Beyond 250, a series of community-driven programs created by humanities councils across the United States, its territories, and the District of Columbia in collaboration with local partners. Together, these programs explore 250 years of the nation’s cultural life and imagine its shared future. The initiative was developed by the Federation of State Humanities Councils and the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage as a complement to the 2026 Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Voices of the First Peoples is created and hosted in collaboration with the Delaware Teachers Institute.
