Bawaadan Collective presents the film series, featuring three contemporary retellings of Hodinöhsö:ni’ stories told in the Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫʼ (Cayuga) language: Corn Husk Doll, How the Medicine Came to the People, and Hato:'. Developed through community collaboration with Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫʼ speakers and learners from Six Nations of the Grand River, these films are designed as accessible and engaging language resources, fostering community storytelling practices.
