This video was originally done by First Language Speaker Lottie Keye, in the Gayogo̱honó / Cayuga Language. ⁠
⁠
Lottie was one of the original knowledge holders who was a major contributor to ǫgwehǫ:we language revitalization, specifically Cayuga language in the Six Nations Community. ⁠
⁠
Her love and commitment to create Gayogo̱honó / Cayuga Language resources are among many we use today. Nya:węh for her passion and devotion to share and teach for our future generations. ⁠

Niá:wen/Nya:węh to all that attended our Community Awareness Event on Friday, May 12! ⁠
⁠
We had so much fun getting to connect and come together with community members and supporters. Congratulations to Louise Maracle Gordon and Bailey Hill for winning our draw prizes. ⁠
⁠
Visit the WCC museum to see our current exhibition, Dibaajimowin: Stories from this Land, on loan from the Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum. ⁠
⁠
Also, check out the Go Skate #SkateboardProject exhibition in the Stan Hill Gallery!⁠
⁠
More information about visiting the museum can be found at the link in our bio!

Our staff was invited to visit Peel Art Gallery Museum and Archives to check out their current exhibition Generations Lost: Healing the Legacy of Residential Schools from the Legacy of Hope Foundation. This exhibition focuses on the Residential School system and its enduring impacts on Survivors, their descendants, and society as a whole. ⁠
⁠
The Mohawk Institute has a featured panel within the exhibition and the staff at PAMA were kind enough to let us collaborate on a feature about the Woodland Cultural Centre. We’re so excited to get the opportunity to work with PAMA and hopefully collaborate on more projects in the future. ⁠
⁠
PAMA will also be selling WCC Orange Shirts in their gift shop for the duration of the exhibition, with 100% of the profits coming back to WCC. Make sure to check out the Generations Lost exhibition, running until October 1, 2023!

In celebration of #MayisMuseumMonth we wanted to showcase some of our past exhibition catalogues from our gift shop! ⁠
⁠
A Colourful Life celebrates the works of James Beaver, a well-known artist during the late 19th - early 20th century and his exhibition at the Woodland Cultural Centre in 2015. He was the first Hodinohsho:ni from Six Nations of the Grand River to utilize the European style of painting. ⁠
⁠
Beaver’s unique work included paintings of private homes, businesses, and natural landscapes, as well as wood carvings. The book highlights some of his work that continues to be housed in our permanent collection.⁠
⁠
Shop this catalogue in-person or online in our gift shop and be sure to stop by the museum to see James Beaver’s work in person! ⁠

The Hiawatha belt is one of the most recognized wa

The Hiawatha belt is one of the most recognized wampum belts. ⁠
⁠
It was created at the beginning of the Confederacy of Peace and its age is unknown. It symbolizes the agreement between the 5 original Hodinosho:ni nations and their promise to support each other in unity. ⁠
⁠
The belt is named after the Onondaga leader, Hiawatha. ⁠
⁠
The central symbol is a tree, representing the Onondaga Nation (Keepers of the Central Fire) – where the Peacemaker planted the Tree of Peace and under which the leaders of the Five Nations buried their weapons. ⁠
⁠
The four white squares from left to right represent the Seneca, Cayuga, Oneida, and Mohawk tribes. Lines extending from the tribes stand for a path that other nations may follow if they agree to live in peace and join the Confederacy. Which later represented the Tuscarora Nation when they were adopted in.⁠
⁠
The Hodinohsho:ni Governance Workshop is coming up in June and we will discuss the use of the wampum. This is the first time that the workshop will be available to the public, so don't miss out. ⁠
