Abstract:
After education at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico and work at the National Museum of the American Indian at the Smithsonian, Nancy Fields is returning to the place her family and ancestors have called home for centuries: Robeson County, North Carolina. Where history and culture of the Lumbee run deep, Fields takes over as director and curator of the Museum of the Southeast American Indian at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
