Celebrate the richness of contemporary Native American life with DC Public Library and critically acclaimed social documentarian and photographer, Matika Wilbur on Thursday, Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. This event marks the return of our Public Square conversation series just in time to kick off Native American Heritage Month!

Created by Matika Wilbur, Project 562 is a multi-year national photography project dedicated to photographing over 562 federally recognized Tribes, urban Native communities, Tribes fighting for federal recognition and Indigenous role models in what is currently known as the United States, resulting in an unprecedented repository of imagery and oral histories that accurately portrays contemporary Native Americans.
