Professor Robert Collins currently has an exhibition on tour with the Smithsonian entitled:
IndiVisible: African-Native American lives in the Americas
In the exhibition, Professor Collins takes a detailed look at the history of intertwined lives of African Americans and Native Americans.
"Over centuries, African Americans and Native Americans created shared histories, communities, families, and ways of life. Prejudice, laws, and twists of history have often divided them from others, yet African-Native American people were united in the struggle against slavery and dispossession, and then for self-determination and freedom.
For African-Native Americans, their double heritage is truly indivisible."
