Jake Haiwhagai'i Edwards, Onondaga Eel Clan member, will give a lecture about the Haudenosaunee contributions to American democracy at the Liverpool Public Library on Thursday, March 13th, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The Haudenosaunee Confederacy – an alliance of the Six Nation Confederacy of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora nations – is the oldest continuous participatory democracy in the world.
This event marks the first in a special series presented by the Onondaga Historical Association and the Liverpool Public Library in anticipation of the "A New Agora for New York: Museums as Spaces for Democracy" project that includes the Voices & Votes: Democracy in America exhibit, coming to the Skä•noñh Great Law of Peace Center from April 18 to May 30.
Additional events in this series will be announced shortly!
This event is free and open to the public. No advanced registration is required.
Voices and Votes is a Museum on Main Street (MoMS) exhibition developed by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service. It’s based on an exhibition by the National Museum of American History. It has been made possible in New York State by the Museum Association of New York. Support for MoMS in New York State has been provided by the United States Congress and the William G. Pomeroy Foundation.
“A New Agora for New York: Museums as Spaces for Democracy” humanities discussion programs are made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
