Unlikely Conductors: The Role of Indigenous People in the Underground Railroad

We learn in history class that the Underground Railroad was extremely instrumental in aiding enslaved people searching for freedom. What we always don’t learn about is the role that Indigenous people, who sometimes enslaved themselves, played in helping others get to freedom. Learn about the important role that Indigenous people played in assisting others in the Underground Railroad.

This presentation will be given by Heather Bruegl, Curator of Political and Civic Engagement at The Henry Ford.
