Ways of My Ancestors Flyer

Launching in Fall 2025 at Quincy Market, Ways of My Ancestors - Imagery: Lighting the Path to Awareness is a Native American photography series by Hassanamisco Nipmuc Artist Scott Strong Hawk Foster. He will display images that document the contemporary presence of the descendants of the Indigenous inhabitants of Southern New England and the ways in which they preserve their culture and heritage today. 

With five two-sided portraits at each end of Quincy Market, Scott Strong Hawk Foster's portraits will greet people as they pass by, enter, and leave the building.

Please join us for an opening reception of Ways of My Ancestors - Imagery: Lighting the Path to Awareness with spoken words by the artist and other members of the Native American community on Wednesday November 19, 2025 at 4:30 p.m. at the west end between historic Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market. Light refreshments will be provided.

Funded by the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture through a grant from the Mellon Foundation, Ways of My Ancestors - Imagery: Lighting the Path to Awareness is presented in partnership with Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Graffito SP, the Office of Historic Preservation, and the City of Boston Planning Department.
