Did you know the Woodland Cultural Centre’s Education department offers crafts!? Pair one of our in-person programs with a craft like a wampum belt craft. ⁠
⁠
During this craft, visitors have the opportunity to learn about the significance of wampum belts, where they came from, and how they're made, as well as the origins of the beads while learning how to make your own wampum-belt-inspired bracelet. ⁠
⁠
To find out more about what the Education department has to offer check out our website by clicking the link in our bio!

Woodland would like to promote one of our partner

Woodland would like to promote one of our partner organizations’ current longhouse re-build campaign. ⁠
⁠
In July of 2022, OSTTC Ganǫhsa’ǫ:weh 1700 c. replica longhouse suffered a devastating fire. Please consider donating to The Ęjidwahsrǫ:ni' Fund - "We will build again".⁠
⁠
At the Longhouse, visitors from around the world were able to take part in cultural teachings such as tea sampling, creating craftwork, and the educational site walks to identify Indigenous plants and medicines. Visitors loved participating in traditional games such as ding-ball, lacrosse, archery, and hoop game.⁠
Help bring the Hodinǫ̱hso:ni culture to life again with the rebuild of the Longhouse.⁠
⁠
Thank you to everyone that has donated so far. It is our hope that OSTTC can once again provide cultural, social, and educational opportunities to the Six Nations and surrounding communities.⁠
⁠
If you want to help them reach the finish line, visit: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/pages/the-ejidwahsroni-fund-we-will-build-it-again-2/

Hato:’ - Frost Spirit ⁠ ⁠ Hodinǫ̱hsǫ:ni

Hato:’ - Frost Spirit ⁠
⁠
Hodinǫ̱hsǫ:ni have our own version of “Old Man Winter” who we refer to as “Hato:’” This word roughly translates to “He is the cold” in English.⁠
⁠
The legend of Hato:’ says that when the air and the winds become cold and harsh, the trees in the forest will begin to creak and bang. He is said to carry a club, swinging and hitting it against the trees, bringing the frost and the cold winds with him. ⁠
⁠
Sometimes creaking and banging will even be heard on the outside of your house, or on your doors and windows. It is said that this is Hato:’ announcing his arrival to you. This wonderful depiction of Hato:’ is by Ernie Smith (Seneca) from the Rochester Museum and Science Centre in Rochester, NY.⁠
