Prompt: what does this exhibit mean to you?

This story is excerpted from an interview conducted in Bennettsville in October 2026

Savannah Turgal: Okay. So, what does this exhibit mean to you? 

Speaker 1: It means visibility, visibility for our tribes that inhabit this region. For our, it means a lot for. Sorry. 

Savannah Turgal: No, you’re good. Take your time. 

Speaker 1: So that we’re rekindling kinship ties with our relatives in the Waccamaw and the Tuscarora. It’s a day of unity and visibility after having been hiding in plain sight, as a lot of people say, for so many years. That our people are finally having our stories told, but with our own voices and not told by somebody else. And so that’s what this means today is visibility.
