It was a warm end to the Fisher family’s Thanksgiving gathering, and a reflection of the themes in the exhibit — family, community, legacy, reclamation, and the enduring power of storytelling. “It is our role as cultural caretakers to share these stories and pass them down so that our heritage will never be lost,” Dameon Fisher said.  “The primary focus of our collect
