“Feathers to Fedoras: An Inside Look at Traditional to Contemporary Native Wear.” This exhibition will be on view November 1 to 27 in the classroom on the second floor of the center. It will consist of 11 photographs with text panels about the pieces and their cultural significance to the tribe. In addition, the exhibit includes a range of headwear and jewelry made by local members of the Wampanoag Tribe and others. 

The new non-profit group L.I.N.K. (Linking Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Knowledge) put together the exhibit working with a number of members of the Wampanoag Tribe and other local Native Americans. Find out more about L.I.N.K. at https://www.linkcapecod.org/
