Preserving Native American Artifacts at MLK Library

DC Public Library Podcast

For Native American Heritage Month, we discuss the archaeological artifacts archived at the MLK Library with State Archaeologist Ruth Tricolli, Chief Jesse James Swann of the Piscataway Conoy Tribe, and Armand Lione of the DC Native History Project. We reveal what these artifacts tell us about the Indigenous peoples who made a home and livelihood in for thousands of years. We’ll also connect the neighborhoods of Washington DC, their roots to Native American History and Culture, and the need for increased education of Native Americans in the District.
