HONORING INGENUITY OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 7 (Tuesday, January 14, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 7 (Tuesday, January 14, 2025)] [House] [Page H125] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING INGENUITY OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE (Mr. MORELLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. MORELLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the inspiring work being done by the Rochester Museum & Science Center, led by curator Jamie Jacobs, to create a new permanent educational exhibit that showcases contemporary indigenous artists inspired by their ancestors. This exhibit, titled: ``Hodinosyo:nih Continuity/Innovation/ Resilience,'' honors the ingenuity of the indigenous people of North America and explores the role museums have played in preserving indigenous cultural heritage. At the heart of the remarkable project is curator Jamie Jacobs of the Tonawanda Seneca Nation. His leadership has honored the enduring legacy of the Hodinosyo:nih people and created a space for learning, reflection, and reconnection. The community of Rochester, New York, celebrates this incredible achievement and extends our deepest gratitude to the Rochester Museum & Science Center and Jamie Jacobs for sharing these essential stories. ____________________
