Before & After 1565: A...Examination of St. Aug's Native American His

Time: 10:00 am til 4:00 pm

Location: Crisp-Ellert Art Museum, Flagler College

Description: Artist Harrell Fletcher was initially drawn to the rich history of the First Coast’s indigenous population as well the history of Native American internment at the Castillo de San Marcos (then Fort Marion). While much local historical focus is placed on Spanish colonial development, little is available to residents & the visiting tourist population about the thriving cultures that existed on the east coast before the arrival of European settlers. “Before and After 1565” enlists the help of local students, archaeologists, educators & other community outlets in order to further examine this cultural heritage & provide a resource to the community by which to learn more about this vital part of St. Augustine history.

The exhibition will serve as a repository for information researched by students & community members, as well as native ceramics & other artifacts on loan from the St. Augustine City Archaeological Archive & Guana-Tolomato-Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve, photographs & ledger drawings created by Native Americans interned in the late 19th century from the collection at the Timucuan Ecological & Historic Preserve at Fort Caroline.
