About this event
From March 28, 2026 to February 14, 2027, Botany of Nations is a groundbreaking exhibition that offers a culturally layered, new perspective on the legendary Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery, co-curated with ethnobotanist and author Enrique Salmón, PhD, and developed with contributions from Indigenous cultural historians. Centering the voices of Native Nations who have protected and cared for these lands for thousands of years, the exhibition presents plants as portals to Indigenous storytelling and knowledge — illuminating how Native Nations shaped America’s plant knowledge long before Western scientists claimed these “discoveries.”
