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. ⁠
⁠

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.⁠

TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT⁠

With almost 400 attendees, we are so grateful that you came to spend the day with us at the Woodland Cultural Centre. It was such an amazing day of eating, shopping, and art and we’re glad we got to share it with you. We can’t wait for the next event! ⁠
⁠
Opening on the 26th, our current exhibition, “Moving Forward: The Next 50 Years” will be running until January 28th. ⁠
⁠
This exhibit will look to honour the Woodland Cultural Centre’s artistic past while recognizing the upcoming generations of Indigenous Artists. Featured in the Judy Harris Gallery will be our first artist-in-residence, Cody Houle. As part of our commitment to new and upcoming Indigenous Artists, Cody will have a studio set up for the duration of the exhibition where guests are free to watch his artistic method and ask him questions throughout the process. ⁠
⁠
Nya:węh to Eshas Eats for the delicious food that was catered for the event. And nya:węh to all our featured vendors in the gift store. It was amazing to have the opportunity to work with you for our Winter Artfest.
