Watch the creative process and craftsmanship of our skilled demonstrators in lacrosse stick-making, basket-making, beadwork, pottery, moccasin-making, and cornhusk doll making.
Enjoy participatory performances by our Iroquois Social Dancers, and experience the creation of environmental installations by artists including Tom Huff (Seneca/ Cayuga) Natasha Smoke Santiago (Akwesasne Mohawk), and Peter Jemison (Seneca, Heron Clan), plus our special, interactive water art project.
