Join us at the Woodland Cultural Centre on Sunday, October 20, for the opening of our exhibition, 1924: Looking Back at the Last 100 Years of Hodinohso:ni Governance, Self-Determination, and Sovereignty.
1924 marks 100 years since the first election of a Band Council in Six Nations, highlighting the existence of two governance systems that represent Six Nations of the Grand River.
Explore the factors that shaped this transition, from land loss and the impacts of the First World War to the freezing of the Six Nations trust fund by Ottawa. We’ll also highlight the groundbreaking work of Deskaheh Levi General, the first Indigenous person to speak at the League of Nations, whose efforts were instrumental in advancing Indigenous rights and ultimately contributed to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Join us for our opening reception at the Woodland Cultural Centre on Sunday October 20 from 2-4 PM. Remarks and refreshments are scheduled for the day. This is an event you won’t want to miss! Book your tickets now and we look forward to seeing you there.
Tickets: Free – a suggested minimum donation of $10 to help the Arts department continue to provide programming.
