Haudenosaunee Women – From SkyWoman to Influence on American Suffrage
12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Presentation best for 7th grade - adults.
This presentation discusses the role that women play in Haudenosaunee communities throughout history. Beginning with the Creation Story and SkyWoman, the talk will highlight the important responsibilities women have with the culture, government, and communities of the Haudenosaunee and how these freedoms and responsibilities impacted the American women and suffrage.

Raven Steals the Sun: Native American Eclipse Stories
2:30pm - 4:00 pm
Appealing to all ages!
This Story-filled presentation will share the beliefs, traditions, and protocols of several Native American tribes related to the Sun and Eclipse events. Tribes across North America have stories to explain these solar events and view them in many different ways – as a signal or a transformation, as omens, as sacred, and as a celebration. From the Cherokee to the Navajo to the Inuit to the Haudenosaunee (and many other tribes), these traditional legends have been told for hundreds of years and continue to be important to Native American culture today.
