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.

SUMMARY:Keith Burich Book Signing: Thomas Indian School and the “Irredeemable” Children of New York
DESCRIPTION:Join us on August 24th at Skä•noñh-Great Law of Peace Center in Liverpool for a book signing with Keith Burich\, PhD.\, author of Thomas Indian School and the “Irredeemable” Children of New York in cooperation with Syracuse University Press. \nBurich is a professor of Native American history and the director of the American Indian Center at Canisius College in Buffalo. \nReviews via S.U. Press: “Burich’s exhaustive history significantly contributes to the history of settler colonial schooling by documenting a distinctively different kind of Indian School: non-federal\, state run\, horrifically committed to the idea of the ‘irredeemable’ Indian child.”—K. Tsianina Lomawaima\, professor of Indigenous education\, School of Social Transformation\, Arizona State University \n“Burich’s book fills a glaring gap in the fields of Indian education and Haudenosaunee history. It is accessible for undergraduate students and will add significantly to classroom explorations of Indian education by including state-mandated education in discussions that usually revolve around the Carlisle Industrial School and the federal system.”—Holly Rine\, associate professor of history\, Le Moyne College \n“Written by an historian who knows the craft of telling a good story\, Burich’s book offers a new interpretative angle to the growing literature on Indian boarding school studies\, and makes a wonderful contribution to the history of American Indian education.”—Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert\, associate professor of history\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign \nThomas Indian School and the “Irredeemable” Children of New York is available for sale at the Skä•noñh Center Gift Gallery. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Book Signing & Presentation: Symbols in the Wilderness - Early Masonic Survivals in Upstate New York
DESCRIPTION:Freemasonry played a vital role in the social development of New York State. Its Lodges provided a trusted place for newcomers to meet and for friendships and business partnerships to develop\, free from political\, professional\, and sectarian differences. During its explosive growth from 1790 to the end of the 1820s Masonic brethren produced iconic architecture\, as well as extraordinary examples of folk art\, expressed in large symbolic paintings (“tracing boards”)\, murals\, textiles\, and graphics. Most of these have remained entirely unknown outside the Upstate Lodges that\, against all hazards\, have preserved them. Their symbolism seems mysterious and confusing to outsiders\, but once explained\, it gives insight into a period and place unique in American history. The book was authored by Joscelyn Godwin \, Christian Goodwillie\, and Marianita Peaslee and produced by Richard W. Couper Press at Hamilton University.  \nAuthors Joscelyn and Christian will be available to sign books and will conduct a presentation at the Onondaga Historical Museum.  \nJoscelyn Godwin is professor of music at Colgate University. Christian Goodwillie is director and curator of Special Collections\, Burke Library\, Hamilton College. Marianita Peaslee is the digital imagery specialist\, Burke Library\, Hamilton College. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase at the OHA Gift Gallery the evening of the event. \n

SUMMARY:Ward Wellington Ward in Rochester\, New York
DESCRIPTION:Ward Wellington Ward (1875-1932) was the quintessential Arts and Crafts architect. His designs reflect the popular architectural styles of the time\, but always with exquisite attention to detail and the use of the finest materials and craftsmen available. Ward practiced architecture in Syracuse\, NY for only 18 years (1908 to 1926). While two-thirds of the more than 280 houses which he designed during that period are found in the Syracuse area\, a surprising number (38-45) were for locations in Rochester\, NY and its suburbs of Brighton and Pittsford and Irondequoit. These homes still beautifully impact their locations today. Most of his designs are well documented\, thanks to art historian Cleota Reed\, but some designs have recently been “discovered” and several of his later Rochester commissions remain mysteries. The Rochester Ward Project is seeking to clear up these questions and see Ward’s Rochester treasures become part of the National Register of Historic Places. Presenter Arlene Wright Vanderlinde\, ASID\, CID\, is a graduate of Syracuse University and has practiced interior design for over four decades. She is principal in the firm of Wright Design Associates. Her specialty is residential\, commercial and institutional structures that are considered historic. Ms. Vanderlinde is now “partially” retired so she can pursue her passions of historical research and writing. \nThis event is presented by the Arts and Crafts Society of Central New York.

SUMMARY:West Lake Conservators: The Art of Bringing Paintings Back to Life
DESCRIPTION:How do you repair an old painting when it gets damaged? What can you do if it’s so covered in dirty varnish that you have difficulty seeing its details? In conjunction with the current artwork exhibit at the Onondaga Historical Museum\, A Life in Art: A Highlight of Women Artists in OHA’s Collections\, Susan Blakney of West Lake Conservators will discuss how the conservation studio addressed these and other problems.
