What’s Next?The Haudenosaunee and the Erie Canal: A Hidden HistoryOn this episode of What’s Next? we speak with Terry Abrams, curator at the Niagara History Center, about the often-overlooked consequences of the Erie Canal on the Haudenosaunee people. Abrams traces the history of dispossession that accompanied the canal’s construction, beginning with the Treaty of Canandaigua in 1794, which affirmed Seneca territory, and the Treaty of Big Tree in 1797, which drastically reduced it.

SportlyThe Haudenosaunee Created Lacrosse, but They’re Still Fighting to Play Under Their Own FlagLacrosse didn’t begin in prep-school hallways or elite East Coast programs; its roots sit firmly with the Haudenosaunee, the Indigenous creators of North America’s oldest sport.

Those Five Nations were the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, and Senecas; the Tuscaroras joined the Confederacy in 1722.

Hoffman has taken this art to new literal and figurative heights—creating large beaded urns for example. But while her work is deeply connected to the traditions and culture of the Haudenosaunee, her interest is in tak...

Audio Guide | Peterborough Museum & Archives04 ‱ Communal LifeThe Haudenosaunee or Iroquois arrived in this area in 900 C.E. and remained until the early 1700’s. The title Haudenosaunee translates to ‘People of the Longhouse.’ In this context, Haudenosaunee refers to more than a group of people. It is a philosophy, a way of life and a body of customs that stretch beyond location and proximity to one another. The Haudenosaunee lived in villages of communal longhouses, in a single area for 15 to 20 years and would move once the soil had become depleted. Each long house was shared amongst 6 to 8 families. The Haudenosaunee follow a matrilineal social...
