In 2002, Virginia’s Indian tribal leaders were interviewed for this video, a result of a two-year oral history project. The information they impart speaks for the ages by tracing their own history including the persistence of Virginia Indian identity and culture 400 years after the European settlement of their lands. A visual historic overview sets the stage for the interviews. Tribes: Chickahominy, Eastern Chickahominy, Mattaponi, Upper Mattaponi, Monacan, Nansemond, Pamunkey, and Rappahannock. Courtesy of Dr. Danielle Moretti-Langholtz, Director of the American Indian Resource Center at the College of William & Mary.

Description: A 1961 film by British reporter Alistair Cooke about the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and its then director Leslie Cheek’s pioneering efforts to get the arts to the people of the state. A time machine glimpse of early 1960s U.S. culture that is very historic, revealing, and camp nostalgia at once. NOTE: Do not adjust your TV set, the original 16mm movie is faded with age.
