Maryland Libraries Together presents "Examining and Interpreting Native and Indigenous History," a virtual panel discussion. Historians, scholars, and nationally-recognized Native American and Indigenous leaders discuss approaches to respectfully engaging with history in order to promote greater awareness of Native and Indigenous heritage in the United States.

Part of the "Guide to Indigenous Maryland" project. This program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Maryland State Library, as well as by the Prince George's County Memorial Library System. Maryland Libraries Together is a collaboration of Maryland libraries to engage communities in enriching educational experiences that advance an understanding of the issues of our time.
