SUMMARY:Herstory Unsanitized: The Not-So-Golden Life of the Gilded Age Wife
DESCRIPTION:For Women’s History Month\, we’re excited to welcome Ehris Urban and Velya Jancz-Urban\, who make up The Grounded Goodwife\,  for “The Not-So-Golden Life of the Gilded Age Wife.”\nLaugh\, grimace\, and honor our foremothers’ journeys while learning about the little-known issues faced by women during America’s Gilded Age. \n“Although Gilded Age women in the upper and lower classes had many differences\, they had one similarity – women were viewed as second best to men\, and were expected to be content with this role in society.” \nThis unique presentation is offered by Ehris Urban (herbalist\, daughter) and Velya Jancz-Urban (historian\, mother) who believe healing comes from nature\, history\, and within. The duo offer unique holistic/historic workshops\, presentations\, and events at a variety of venues\, as well as at their colonial home. \n$8 for OHA Members\, $10 for non-members.

SUMMARY:Stories from the Split Rock Explosion
DESCRIPTION:A nearly century-old tragedy is motivating OCC students to make a difference in their community. “We want to preserve and memorialize what happened\,” said Tara Carr (West Genesee HS\, 2017). “We want to make sure Split Rock will never be forgotten.” \nCarr is one of eleven students enrolled in “The Split Rock Disaster\,” an Honors level class examining the tragedy that occurred July 2\, 1918. What was once a former limestone quarry had been turned into a munitions factory where TNT was being manufactured for use in World War I. When a fire started at the site workers fought the blaze until they ran out of water pressure. The raging fire resulted in an explosion which was felt for miles around. Fifty-five workers were killed and 50 were injured. \nEarly in the semester students traveled to the site which is located off Split Rock Road in the Town of Onondaga. “To see what it looks like now gave us a sad feeling\,” said student Flo Downing (Cathage HS\, 2015). All that remains is a stone crusher which was built in 1903. “It was covered in graffiti\,” added student Beckii Sessions (Town of Webb HS\, 2016). “There was trash everywhere. The whole place was wrecked. There was a lot of broken glass and shotgun shells.” \n\n \n\n\nSeeing what the site had become motivated students to take action in connection with the upcoming 100-year anniversary of the tragedy. Under the leadership of Professors Laurel Saiz and Melissa Hicks\, students made a presentation to the Onondaga Town Board and are working on a series of related activities: \n\nMonday\, April 30\, from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.\, in Mawhinney 345 at OCC\, “Split Rock at the Center of the World\,” a presentation by Professor Laurel Saiz\nWednesday\, May 2\, two performance of “Split Rock: Stories from the 1918 Explosion\,” a play researched\, written\, and performed by OCC students and directed and edited by OHA’s Scott Peal.  Daytime performance is 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and the evening performance is at 7 p.m. in Storer Auditorium at OC.  Tickets are $5 and on sale at OHA’s Gift Gallery in downtown Syracuse.

SUMMARY:A Sustainable World of Equality and Peace
DESCRIPTION:A Sustainable World of Equality and Peace\, a joint presentation by Freida Jacques & Sally Roesch Wagner. The speakers will explore the impact Haudenosaunee women had on the 19th century women’s rights movement. You can make a donation to this event\, which will help support future events\, exhibits\, and programs at the Center\, by clicking here. \nThis program\, which is free and open to the public\, is made possible through the support of the Humanities New York’s Public Scholars program is hosted by the Skä·noñh-Great Law of Peace Center to be held on Tuesday\, March 27th from 7:00 to 8:30 PM. \nFreida Jacques describes the world she inhabits as a Haudenosaunee woman\, a member of the six nations of the Iroquois confederacy.  The democratic governmental system\, established long before Columbus and based on peace\, provides equality for everyone with a balance of responsibilities between women and men based on a matrilineal clan system. Gratitude\, healing and use of the Good Mind constitute lessons from the Haudenosaunee Culture that provided a model for the Euro-American culture to use in creating a truly democratic\, peaceful country.  Freida also explores the original instructions that the Haudenosaunee received to develop a relationship with nature in a sustainable manner\, a model that inspired 19thcentury U.S. reformers. \nSally Roesch Wagner will explore how the woman’s rights movement took form in the territory of the Haudenosaunee where women have always lived with far greater status and authority than in the non-native world.   Based on her most recent book\, Sisters in Spirit: Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Influence on Early American Feminists\, Dr. Wagner will share her research on how Haudenosaunee women fired the revolutionary vision of early feminists by providing a model of freedom for women at a time when Euro-American women experienced few rights. \nwho lost all their rights\, even their legal existence\, when they married. Euro-American women learned from and were inspired by the equal political authority\, control of their bodies and property\, religious voice\, custody of their children\, satisfying work\, and absence of rape and domestic violence women experienced in Haudenosaunee nations.Together the women explore the impact that Haudenosaunee women\, living in absolute equality\, had on Euro-American women\, \nIf you have questions about events at the Center\, please call 315-453-6767 or 315-428-1864. \nPartial funding for this event comes from the New York State Council on the Arts.

SUMMARY:The Sacred Waters of the Haudenosaunee and the Trauma of the Erie Canal
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 21 at 1:00 PM at the Skä•noñh- Great Law of Peace Center [6680 Onondaga Lake Pkwy\, Liverpool\, NY 13088]\nFor millennia\, waterways in Haudenosaunee territories have been profoundly important.  In the Haudenosaunee cosmology\, water is sacred as fundamental to all life.  Therefore\, while waterways were used for transportation\, as food resources\, and as locations for settlement\, it was widely agreed among Indigenous peoples that they also be protected.  The Erie Canal disrupted the natural flow of water\, essentially damning watersheds so as to flow in an east-west direction.  As Laurence Hauptman has discussed in Conspiracy of Interests: Iroquois Dispossession and the Rise of New York State\, the creation of the Erie Canal corresponded with the dispossession of the Haudenosaunee.  Transformation of the landscape throughout the 19th century had profound environmental effects and traumatic consequences on Haudenosaunee relationships to their lands. \nJake Edwards is a citizen on the Onondaga Nation and sits on the Council of Chiefs.  He has extensive knowledge of Haudenosaunee environmental history and often speaks throughout the world on Haudenosaunee values. A sovereign nation on 7\,300 acres south of Syracuse\, Onondaga is a proud member of the Haudenosaunee (“People of the Long House”)\, an alliance of six Native American nations sometimes referred to as the Iroquois Confederacy or Six Nations.  Other members include the Mohawk\, Oneida\, Cayuga\, Seneca\, and Tuscarora nations. \nPhilip P. Arnold is Associate Professor and Chair of Religion Department at Syracuse University as well as core faculty in Native American and Indigenous Studies.  He is the Founding Director of the Skä·noñh—Great Law of Peace Center (www.skanonhcenter.org/).  His books are Eating Landscape: Aztec and European Occupation of Tlalocan (1999); Sacred Landscapes and Cultural Politics: Planting a Tree (2001); The Gift of Sports: Indigenous Ceremonial Dimensions of the Games We Love (2012) and Urgency of Indigenous Religions (University of New Mexico Press\, forthcoming).  He is a founding member of Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation (NOON)\,(www.peacecouncil.net/NOON/index.html) and established the Doctrine of Discovery Study Group (www.doctrineofdiscovery.org) He is also the President of the Indigenous Values Initiative(www.indigenousvalues.org).

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Alanis Obomsawin
DESCRIPTION:Obomsawin will talk about the intersection of art and activism\, drawing on her long career as a filmmaker\, singer-songwriter and visual artist. Catered lunch to follow. Free admission. \nMore about Obomsawin via The Canadian Encyclopedia \nCommitted to redressing the invisibility of Aboriginal peoples\, Alanis Obomsawin’s filmmaking style resides in the unique ability to pair Aboriginal oral traditions with methods of documentary. Amisk andMother of Many Children\, produced and directed in 1977\, combine interviews with music\, dance\, drawings and archival images to validate the history of Aboriginal peoples across Canada. Of her films on young people\, Richard Cardinal: Cry from a Diary of a Métis Child(1986) is the best known\, and perhaps the most striking. A dramatic account of a young boy’s suicide\, it led to a government report on social services for Indigenous foster children in Alberta\, though little has been done to alleviate such promlems. \nHer films have documented the work of Aboriginal organizations to help young people overcome alcohol and drug abuse (Poundmaker’s Lodge: A Healing Place\, 1987)\, and provide services to homeless Indigenous peoples in Montréal (No Address\, 1988.) Her films on the struggles of the Mi’kmaq over fishing rights (Incident at Restigouche\, 1984) and the Mohawk-government standoff at Oka in 1990 (Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance\, 1993) have been widely acclaimed\, and have brought Obomsawin national and international recognition.

SUMMARY:Meet the Artists - Reviving Place: Onondaga Lake Watershed Community Mapping
DESCRIPTION:The Onondaga Environmental Institute\, the Onondaga Historical Association and the Ska-nonh – Great Law of Peace Center are pleased to announce a special event with the artists behind the Reviving Place Exhibition on Friday\, September 30th at the Ska-nonh Center. Artists Sandra Fioramonti-Sabene\, Roland Powless\, Kamiiron Pritchard and Kate Woodle will be on hand for informal conversation from 6:00pm-8:00pm.  Gain their thoughts and perspectives on creating paintings that encompass community values and visions of the Onondaga Lake Watershed. This event is free and open to the public. \nThe Reviving Place: Onondaga Lake Watershed Community Mapping exhibit showcases four original works of art that were developed as part of a multi-year-long project which asked communities\, geographically located within the large Onondaga Lake watershed\, what they found unique\, special or important about their particular neighborhoods\, locales and environments.  The findings were then translated to an original visual graphic by talented local artists who sought to capture the community input and reflect what those communities viewed as important and which elements helped provide an identity that would be missed if it were gone?”  Their responses were then visually rendered by local artists in the community maps on exhibit. \nLearn more about the exhibit.
