The University of Washington Health Sciences Library invites you to come join in celebrating the Native Voices exhibit on Thursday, April 30, 2015 for an open house from 2 – 4 pm in the Red Area (2nd floor).
Activities include a traditional opening blessing performed by Annette Anquoe, and a presentation by Ralph Forquera, both of the Seattle Indian Health Board. Mr. Forquera is featured in several of the interviews in the exhibit. Mark your calendars and plan to join us for the open house! Friends of the UW Libraries and family are also welcome to this special event and exhibit.

This interactive exhibit was created by the National Library of Medicine, and explores the interconnectedness between Native People’s culture and perception of health. Honoring the practice of oral history, the exhibit captures revealing interviews with members of various tribal organizations relating stories of health, wellness, nature, and spirit. The exhibit will be on display to visit from April 28 – July 21, 2015. Information about additional activities related to the exhibit will be forthcoming. We look forward to seeing you on the 30th!
