Museum celebrates Native Americans

PITTSBURGH — This November, in observance of Native American Heritage Month, the Fort Pitt Museum will host “Native Allegheny, Past and Present,” from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 8. The program will feature a presentation, guided exhibition tours and a reception celebrating the enduring cultures of the region’s first peoples. Three centuries ago, Delawares, Shawnees, Senecas and other Native people settled the region around present-day Pittsburgh — a place they referred to as Allegheny.

Far from the pressures of colonial settlement and rival Native nations, it became a sanctuary of sorts in an increasingly turbulent world. Though the land and its inhabitants have greatly changed, the Native nations who once lived here, have survived and thrived to the present day. Visitors can hear from members of two of these historic, living cultures as they explore the rich tribal history of this region and detail the ways Native people are adding to our collective understanding, while preserving their cultures for future generations.

The program will include a presentation by Jeremy Johnson, cultural education director for the Delaware Tribe of Indians and a gallery talk led by Seneca photographer D.J. Huff, whose work is featured in the museum’s first-floor exhibition “Across.” The evening will include a small reception and guided tour of the museum’s temporary exhibition, “Homelands: Native Nations of Allegheny.”

Created in collaboration with federally-recognized Delaware, Seneca, Seneca-Cayuga and Shawnee tribes, the “Homelands: Native Nations of Allegheny” exhibition illuminates the past, present and future of the region’s Native tribes with rare artifacts and new scholarship. The “Across” exhibition features the photography of Seneca cultural interpreter Huff, in Pittsburgh and in western New York. The “Native Allegheny, Past and Present” program is included with regular museum admission.
