Abstract

The records of the Catching Shadows Exhibition documents a series of oral histories and photographic prints recorded and produced by Marc Dykeman and Anne Nielson, 2007-2012, with a focus on Eastern Shore Native Americans from the Accohannock, Assateague, Nause-Waiwash Band of Indians, and the Pocomoke Indian Nation. The prints and oral histories were utilized to create an exhibition titled, “Catching Shadows: Tintype Portraits and Recorded Voices of 21st Century Native Americans Living on Maryland's Eastern Shore”. In addition to the aforementioned materials, there is a recording of the panel discussion held at and sponsored by the Queen Anne’s County Arts Council as well as a substantial volume of letters of support from Eastern Shore tribes requesting the use of the materials in an exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian.

Administrative History

Conceived by Anne Nielson, a Queen Anne's County native, the exhibition titled, "Catching Shadows: Tintype Portraits and Recorded Voices of the 21st Century Native Americans Living on Maryland’s Eastern Shore,” was a selection of prints produced from wet plate tintypes created by Nielson. Nielson, along with oral historian, Marc Dykeman, interviewed eight individuals from the aforementioned tribes. The photographic prints and audio excerpts were displayed in an exhibition space. Nielson and Dykeman documented four tribes of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, the Accohannock, the Assateague, the Nause-Waiwash Band of Indians and the Pocomoke Indian Nation.
