June is Jihsǫ:dahk niga:ha:wi’ - Strawberry Season. Here are some words in the Gayogo̱hó:nǫ’ (Cayuga) language in honour of this time of year. Wild strawberries are considered the leaders of the hanging fruit and are considered a medicine that will give one strength when ingested. We call them the leader because they are the first to appear in the spring and the first fruit that we harvest, it's good medicine to see the wild strawberry come back every year.We honour them in ceremonies and they are always mentioned in the Thanksgiving Address.A Stem, berry hull – o’nihsda’Onyę:da’ – a stemLeaf – onrahda’Seed- ganahaǫgwęhBerry, fruit – ohya’Flower – awęhę’Strawberry – jihsǫ:dahkLeader – GowadigówanęhOf what it holds – Sęh nigaha:’The hanging fruit – Wa̱hyaniyǫ:ta’Make a donation to our Dwadwęnagá:da:t Language Centre today through CanadaHelps and give Woodland the chance to win $20,000 in the month of June.
