SUMMARY:Dawes Commission in Cherokee Nation: Freedmen Exhibit closes
DESCRIPTION:The Fort Gibson Historic Site exhibit Dawes Commission in Cherokee Nation\, which features Freedmen history\, will remain open through the end of February 2025. \nThe exhibit covers a brief historical moment in the late 1800s when formerly enslaved people from across the territory traveled to Fort Gibson to be enrolled in the Dawes Rolls. The Fort Gibson staff has worked directly with Freedmen descendants to curate the photographs of the Freedmen exhibit. \nCaptain McKennon set up an office in one of the officers’ quarters to fulfill his commission of enrolling people once enslaved in Indian Territory. While waiting\, a small community gathered\, and soon-to-be-enrolled Freedmen visited with long-lost friends\, sold goods they brought with them\, and held gatherings on the post’s grounds. Photographers took several images during the proceedings\, recording the small historical moment through images. \nFor more information\, follow Fort Gibson on Facebook. \n \nFunding for this program is provided in part by a grant from Oklahoma Humanities (OH) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). Any views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of OH or NEH. \n\n
