Have you visited the museum to see our current exh

Have you visited the museum to see our current exhibition? Make sure to visit before Doug Maracle: Come Walk With Me is gone!⁠
⁠
Doug Maracle is Mohawk Nation, Bear Clan from Six Nations of the Grand River and is known around the world for his craftsmanship and artist works. It wasn’t until more recently that his hometown discovered his talents.⁠
⁠
This exhibition celebrates the diversity of Doug’s body of work. The work includes wood carvings, prints, and pen & ink sketches meshed with a sense of humour, history, and place.⁠
⁠
The viewer will learn about what inspired Doug’s artistic practice to encourage visitors to understand the process of sculpting techniques and encourage a younger generation to become interested in the connection between art and narrative of the Haudenosaunee culture within the context of the history of art in Canada. The exhibition provides a point of departure to open the context of craft vs fine art, identity, and process.⁠
⁠
This exhibition will be closing before we’re back from our Christmas break and unfortunately cannot be extended. Be sure to visit the museum before December 22 to see Doug’s incredible work. ⁠

Nya:węh/Niá:wen to Six Nations of the Grand Rive

Nya:węh/Niá:wen to Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation for including Woodland in their 2023 Community Investments. ⁠
⁠
WCC received $68,284 as part of the Our Journey Continues: Transportation Solutions for Our Elders project. We were able to purchase golf carts for transporting elders and guests around the WCC grounds. This contribution has meant so much to our staff as we continue in our construction as part of the restoration project on the former Mohawk Institute Residential School. ⁠

Did you know Indigenous treaties in Canada are agr

Did you know Indigenous treaties in Canada are agreements made between the Crown and Indigenous people that concern land? Indigenous people agreed to share their land in exchange for payments of one kind or another and promises that define the rights and obligations of Canada and the First Nations. Before Confederation, Britain controlled the treaty-making process. After Confederation, the federal government took control of the treaty-making process. ⁠
⁠
On a deeper level, treaties are understood by Indigenous people, as sacred covenants between nations that establish a relationship between those for whom Turtle Island is an ancient homeland and those whose family roots lie in other countries. Treaties form the constitutional and moral basis of an alliance between Indigenous peoples and Canada. Treaties set out continuing treaty rights and benefits for each group.⁠
⁠
The written word of the treaties is only one part of the treaty process. From the Hodinohsho:ni perspective, wampum is an equal part of the process and carries the same weight as the written treaties.⁠
