Emily Pauline Johnson, born on March 10, 1861, and

Emily Pauline Johnson, born on March 10, 1861, and passing just before her 53rd birthday on March 7, 1913, was an influential writer, poet, and entertainer. The daughter of Mohawk Chief George Johnson and Emily Howells, E. Pauline Johnson proudly celebrated her Hodinohsho:ni heritage through her poetry, most famously in "The Song My Paddle Sings."

During her career she adopted her grandfather’s traditional name, Tekahionwake (double wampum) as her stage name. She captivated audiences with her performances while making significant contributions to Indigenous and Canadian literature. Today, she is recognized as a Person of National Historic Significance, with her childhood home honoured as a National Historic Site and museum.

After retiring in Vancouver, she continued to challenge societal norms regarding race and gender as a successful, unmarried Indigenous woman. Her impactful work resonated with both critics and fans during her lifetime, and a monument in Stanley Park honours her legacy.

To learn more about E. Pauline Johnson take a tour through the Woodland Cultural Centre museum, open Monday - Friday 9-4 and Saturdays 10-5. Email tours@woodlandculturalcentre.ca to book a guided tour for your group.

The Iroquois people, also known as the Haudenosaunee or "People of the Longhouse," have a sophisticated and deeply meaningful clan system that plays a central role in their social structure, governance, and cultural practices. The clan system is based on a profound connection to the natural world, where each clan is represented by an animal or symbol that reflects specific qualities and responsibilities.The Structure of the Iroquois Clan System:The clan system is matrilineal, meaning that lineage and identity are passed down through the mother. Each person belongs to their mother's clan. The clans are organized into several groups, each with a distinct function within the community. The Iroquois Confederacy, which consists of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca nations (with the Tuscarora joining later), has a variety of clans, with each nation having its own set. Here are the Cayuga (Gayogohó:no’) words below: Bear- hnyágwai’ Turtle - ganyáhde:Wolf - otahyó:ni:Deer - dewáhohde:sHawk - oswe’gai:yo’Eel - gó:deh Beaver - naganyá’go’Snipe - duwihsduwiThe Iroquois clan system is integral to maintaining balance in society. Each clan has specific responsibilities, and clan members work together to ensure the wellbeing of the community. The clan system promotes shared leadership, with each clan being represented in the decision-making process through the Grand Council. Elders, clan mothers, and chiefs guide the people, and decisions are made with the consensus of all clans, ensuring that every voice is heard.Additionally, the clan system fosters a deep sense of kinship and responsibility. It establishes strong familial bonds and reinforces the value of cooperation, respect, and balance. This system also helps preserve important teachings, rituals, and cultural practices, ensuring that future generations remain connected to their ancestors. ... See MoreSee Less
