The goal of this project is to continue to grow the access to Haudenosaunee cultural teachings and skills such as trapping, tanning, and how to locally source traditional meals. The project will span a year with the different teachings corresponding with the appropriate time of the year e.g. trapping during the winter months or composting earlier in the year to make sure it is ready for the gardens. In between the in-person classes, we will also be doing virtual classes with cultural teachings that correspond with the time of the year and what ceremonies will be coming up. As with many communities, the Residential School Era negatively affected us as well. We are working to reverse some of those effects by making these classes accessible for youth to learn the same skills and knowledge that their ancestors knew.
