On Sunday, March 28, 1999, the Hampton University Museum unveiled its historic collection of American Indian art and artifacts in a new, permanent installation, Enduring Legacy: Native Peoples, Native Arts at Hampton . 

"The Native lives represented in Hampton's historic American Indian program are a testament to the beauty, strength, and tenacity of the cultures to which they belong," notes Dr. Paulette Molin (Minnesota Chippewa/White Earth) , co-curator of the exhibition. "Although a numerical minority, the students transcended their small numbers and the brief, 45-year time span of the program to extend an influence that reverberates today. For Native Americans, the multifaceted impact of the boarding school era, of which Hampton's program is a part, is complex and generational. These stories are critical to our understanding of an important chapter in the history of this country." 

Enduring Legacy: Native Peoples, Native Arts at Hampton is a testimony to both the valuable heritage and continuing influence of Hampton's early American Indian students. We are pleased and honored to share this wonderful collection with our visitors through a new, permanent installation."
