Lewis D. Cannell Library has been selected in a competitive application process to host Native Voices: Native Peoples' Concepts of Health and Illness, a traveling exhibition to U.S. libraries.

Native Voices explores the interconnectedness of wellness, illness and cultural life for Native Americans, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians. Stories drawn from both the past and present examine how health for Native People is tied to community, the land and spirit, Through interviews, Native People describe the impact of epidemics, federal legislation, the loss of land, and the inhibition of culture on the health of Native individuals and communities today.

As one of the 104 grant recipients selected from across the country, Cannell Library will host the traveling exhibition for a six-week loan during its tour of the United States from February 2016 to June 2020. Cannell Library will be hosting the exhibit from February 9th, 2016 to March 16th, 2016.
