Ganęhsgwao:ta’go:wah is the word we use in the Cayuga language for the month of April. It refers to the frogs' voices becoming louder during this time of year. If you live near a pond or body of water, it's very noticeable how loud they can get.

pronounced: gun-ess-gwao-ta-go-wa

Our Executive Director, Heather George, wanted you

Our Executive Director, Heather George, wanted you to know in addition to your donations helping to support language revitalization, education programming, contemporary art exhibitions and the preservation of the former Mohawk Institute – your donations also help us save important historical documents and belongings (artifacts) such as this scrap book.

This scrap book was kept by Augusta Gilkison, daughter of Col. Gilkison who was the Indian Agent assigned to Six Nations of the Grand River from 1862-1891. It captures an important time of external pressures and internal changes in Six Nations. The book includes news clippings and documents about the First World War, the Six Nations Council House, the Agricultural Society, the opening of the Mississaugas of the Credit Council House, Joseph Brant’s monument unveiling, commemorations of the 100th anniversary of the War of 1812 and various events and gatherings in the community.

As the backing paper is made from wood pulp it is very acidic and starting to crumble. Our plans for the scrapbook include digitizing the pages to allow increased access and when funds allow, we will undertake full conservation and stabilization of the pages.

The Woodland Cultural Centre is thrilled to announ

The Woodland Cultural Centre is thrilled to announce our new solo-retrospective exhibition, "Melanie Monique Rose: Ii moond difleur - The Flower People".

Melanie Monique Rose is a Metis/Ukrainian visual artist from Regina, Saskatchewan Treaty 4 Territory, a citizen of the Metis Nation of Saskatchewan, and a long-time contributing member of Sâkêwêwak Artists’ Collective Inc. Rose’s work centres on kinship and relationships between the land, ourselves and each other. Through plants and flowers Rose invites transmissions of ancestral knowledge and teachings while also imagining and creating a de-colonial future through the lens of Metis worldviews.

Join us for our opening reception on Saturday April 27 at 2:00pm. Light refreshments and snack will be available. This innovative and inspiring exhibition will be available in the galleries for viewing until June 23, 2024.
