All are welcome – come together in a spirit of learning, respect, appreciation, and connection.
Native American Heritage Month is observed every November in the US. It honors the history, cultures, traditions and contributions of Native peoples, including American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities.
On Saturday, November 14, from 12 pm to 4 pm, Becker Farms and Vizcarra Vineyards invite the community to attend Roots & Traditions: A Celebration of Haudenosaunee Culture, presented with the Seven Dancers Coalition.
“The Haudenosaunee, meaning ‘people of the longhouse’ are an Indigenous confederacy of six nations: Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora. Their ancestral homelands include much of what is now New York and surrounding regions. The Haudenosaunee have rich and living traditions, languages, governance and cultural practices that continue to thrive today. Native American heritage month is an opportunity to honor their enduring cultures, history and contributions.” – Organizers
The celebratory event will feature a bevy of Native craft vendors, cultural learning opportunities, with traditional dance performances from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm.
The event is free to attend, open to all ages, and will take place rain or shine.
