This Valley is Sacred: The Ancestors are Speaking in all caps, with photo of outstretched land in antelope valley behind it.

LANCASTER—The Lancaster Museum of Art and History (MOAH) is pleased to announce This Valley is Sacred: The Ancestors are Speaking, a multi-faceted exhibition and community engagement project that seeks to expose audiences to the harsh realities and beauty of Native existence as dictated by the Tribal groups that surround the Antelope Valley. This project brings together professionals and community members from across the region to weigh in on the importance of discussions surrounding the portrayal of Native people in museums, intersecting with the visions that Tribal members want conveyed. In this exhibition, visitors will be transported through time to visit a series of curated spaces portraying the dawn of Creation and following life through the period of abundance, the mission period, and today.
