Native Voices Cover-to-Cover Project

The Mitchell Museum, in partnership with the Evanston Public Library and Northwestern University Center for Native American and Indigenous Research, kicks off a new project to ensure Indigenous representation in children’s literature.
 
 
To make sure authentic Native literature is accessible to everyone, we will offer a curated selection of six Native-authored books at no cost to families and children (ages 5-11) of all backgrounds. Families will also be asked to participate in a research study related to the children’s books. To participate or to learn more about the research study, just fill out the form!
 

Exhibit Extended through 2024

Due to overwhelming public interest, the Mitchell Museum is pleased to extend our No Rest: The Epidemic of Stolen Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2Spirits exhibit through 2024. Visitors now have additional time and opportunities to learn more about the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two spirits (MMIWG2S) through this powerful exhibit featuring 35 original works from 12 Indigenous artists.
