Though many New England tribes such as the Mahican used the lands in this area, we explored the ways that the Mohawk people in particular related to water in terms of food resources, including fishing, hunting, and agriculture; travel, trade, and warfare along the area's waterways; the medicinal springs of Saratoga; spirituality and culture; and current water-use issues. Preface Joseph Bruchac, a Native American local of the Saratoga region, introduces a book of Native American stories by describing the relationships native peoples of North America have with the Earth. “The Earth is not something to be bought and sold, something to be used and mistreated,” he writes. “It is, quite simply, the source of our lives—our Mother” (Caduto and Bruchac 1991). He continues to explain the role of native people on the Earth as entrusted with a mission to maintain the natural balance of the Earth. In Native American philosophy, life is seen as a great circle in which each person is related to everyone and everything.

Arthur and Shirley Einhorn Iroquois Collection
ST LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES – SPECIAL COLLECTIONS Arthur and Shirley Einhorn Iroquois Collection MSS. Coll. No. 196 9.25 linear ft. History The Native American tribal confederacy known as the Iroquois, or Haudenosaunee consists of six tribal entities or nations, primarily located in New York State and Canada. The tribes share similar language and formed a five- member tribal affiliation before contact with Europeans. Today, the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy consists of the Mohawks, Onondagas, Senecas, Cayugas, Oneidas and the Tuscaroras, with the latter tribe joining later. Biographical Arthur Einhorn is an anthropologist who spent a long career as a teacher, and scholar of Native peoples in Northern New York. For many years, Mr. Einhorn taught history at Lowville Academy, where he was the first to teach New York State-approved courses in anthropology for high school students. He also served as an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Jefferson Community College, Lewis County historian, and director of the Lewis County Historical Association and Museum. Einhorn was also an Associate Director of the Institute for Indians in Higher Education at St. Lawrence University. While his main scholarly interest was native groups of the Caribbean region, much of Einhorn’s professional work has been with the Iroquois tribes in New York and Canada. Scope and Content The collection consists mainly of books, journal articles, personal notes, papers and other items reflecting Mr. Einhorn’s research on the Iroquois from the 1950s through

Louis Mofsie and Members of the Thunderbird American Indian Dancers
I. Louis Mofsie and members of the Thunderbird American Indian Dancers in ENDURING TRADITIONS Through the rhythms and movements of authentic, traditional Iroquois dances and songs, Louis Mofsie and the Thunderbird American Indian Dancers invite students to discover the rich cultural legacies alive among today's Native Americans. A series of workshops presented by the director, Louis Mofsie, and members of his company engages students in a singing, dancing tour of what is now known as New York State and Canada. Students will learn about the clothing, musical instruments, and customs of many people and may have an opportunity to video their own culminating presentation. In the first workshop Mr. Mofsie (from the Hopi tribe of Arizona and the Winnebago tribe of Wisconsin) and his partner share their own histories - including the geographical origins of their tribes and the significance of their Indian names - and discuss the history of the Iroquois people, known as the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy (made up of the Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Tuscarora, and Seneca tribes). They then teach the students the rhythms, song, and movements of the Robin Dance, which uses the movements of the robin to celebrate Spring. The students also learn the Canoe Song and its accompanying motions. The second workshop introduces students to musical instruments (such as the water drum turtle rattle, horn rattle, and dew claws) and clothing of the Iroquois. Mr. Mofsie shows the students a False Face mask and tells the story of Crooked Face. The workshop concludes with a rehearsal of the Robin Dance and Canoe Song.

Haudenosaunee Guide for Educators
HAUDENOSAUNEE GUIDE FOR EDUCATORS EDUCATION OFFICE We gather our minds to greet and thank the enlightened Teachers who have come to help throughout the ages. When we forget how to live in harmony, they remind us of the way we were instructed to live as people. With one mind, we send greetings and thanks to these caring Teachers. Now our minds are one. From the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address Dear Educator, he Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian is pleased to bring this guide to you. It was written to help provide teachers with a better Tunderstanding of the Haudenosaunee. It was written by staff at the Museum in consultation with Haudenosaunee scholars and community members. Though much of the material contained within this guide may be familiar to you, some of it will be new. In fact, some of the information may challenge the curriculum you use when you instruct your Haudenosaunee unit. It was our hope to provide educators with a deeper and more integrated understanding of Haudenosaunee life, past and present. This guide is intended to be used as a supplement to your mandated curriculum. There are several main themes that are reinforced throughout the guide. We hope these may guide you in creating lessons and activities for your classrooms. The main themes are: Jake Swamp (Tekaroniankeken), ■ a traditional Mohawk spiritual The Haudenosaunee, like thousands of Native American nations and communities leader, and his wife Judy across the continent, have their own history and culture. (Kanerataronkwas) in their ■ The Peacemaker Story, which explains how the Confederacy came into being, is home with their grandsons the civic and social code of ethics that guides the way in which Haudenosaunee Ariwiio, Aniataratison, and people live — how they are to treat each other within their communities, how Kaienkwironkie.
