35th Annual Iroquois Indian Festival
The annual festival celebrates Iroquois creativity and self-expression by featuring an all Iroquois Art Market open to Iroquois artists by special invitation only. Both traditional and contemporary art forms are showcased. The Sky Dancers from Six Nations Reserve in Ontario will perform traditional Iroquois social dances, and may invite the public out onto the dance floor to participate. Onondaga storyteller Perry Ground will return with dramatic tales of daring feats and astounding adventures. Special guests this year will be North Country Heritage Award recipients The Akwesasne Women Singers. The Children’s Activity area will feature arts & crafts activities including beadwork and cornhusk doll making. Local wildlife rehabilitator Kelly Martin will discuss wildlife conservation in our bioregion and present a variety of wild animals including birds of prey. The Museum’s archeology department will be available to help identify archeological finds and give demonstrations of flintknapping and other early technologies. This event is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and friends and members of the Iroquois Indian Museum.
