Building the Brafferton was the first exhibition to examine the history of the Indian School within the wider networks of trade, politics of church and state, and Great Britain’s colonial enterprise in North America. Objects and documents from William & Mary’s collections as well as major loans from the National Gallery of Art, Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, Colonial Williamsburg, and Gilcrease Museum, among others, reconstructed the history of the Brafferton and its alumni. To honor the legacy of the Brafferton and its students, the Museum commissioned several contemporary Native American artworks from members of descendant tribes.
The illustrated catalogue features new original research from Danielle Moretti-Langholtz, Buck Woodard, Ashley Atkins Spivey, Edward Chappell, Audrey Horning, Susan Kern, Mark Kostro, Alexandra Martin, Stephanie Pratt, Dylan Ruediger, Sydney Stewart, and Michaela Wright as well as a Foreword from former Director of the Muscarelle Aaron H. De Groft and a Preface by former William & Mary President W. Taylor Reveley.
