His wife, Ta-Tat-ty, also wears Comanche clothing. Their niece (center) is Wife-per, also known as Frances E. Wright.

Within the fabric of American identity is woven a story that has long been invisible\u2014the lives and experiences of people who share African American and Native American ancestry.<\/p>\n

African and Native peoples came together in the Americas. Over centuries, African Americans and Native Americans created shared histories, communities, families, and ways of life.<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

For African-Native Americans, their double heritage is truly indivisible.<\/p>\n

The exhibition IndiVisible: African-Native American Lives in the Americas<\/em> is a collaboration between the Smithsonian\u2019s National Museum of the American Indian<\/a>, National Museum of African American History and Culture<\/a>, and the Smithsonian Institution Travelling Exhibition Service (SITES)<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
