Presenting the work of seven contemporary artists as they interpret this early encounter between the Native American peoples and the Europeans. Starting with that fateful encounter the clock started ticking for the Lenape culture, and began an era known by archeologists as the “Contact Period.” The night will include Native American flute music by recording artists Nightdancers.

The exhibition will be up at the Staten Island Museum, 75 Stuyvesant Place, through January 10, 2010.
