Stories from the People of the Longhouse & Meet the new Minett Professor, Perry Ground!

Register

On Wednesday, November 3, 2021 from 12PM-2PM in the RIT Bamboo Rooms (2610/2650), the Minett Professor, Onondaga Storyteller Perry Ground will be leading a storytelling event titled Stories from the People of the Longhouse. This Storytelling presentation is filled with traditional Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) legends that have been told for hundreds of years. These stories teach about the beliefs, customs and history of the Haudenosaunee people. Storyteller Perry Ground will bring the stories to life through vivid descriptions, his rhythmic voice and a VERY active stage presence. These stories become ‘interactive’ as Perry is known to include audience members in the stories. Elements of traditional Haudenosaunee lifestyle, pieces of historical information and LOTS of humor are woven into each story. Discussion about the Haudenosaunee culture and the art of storytelling is also part of this program. Students, faculty, and staff, will all find this presentation captivating, highly entertaining yet very educational.

We invite you to join us in celebrating Native American Heritage Month with a kickoff event Monday, November 1, 2021 from 12-2pm in the Fireside Lounge. Stop on by to purchase some items from Haudenosaunee jewelry and craft vendors, be entered to win some giveaways, listen to some Native music, and eat! Please note: some Indigenous jewelry/craft vendors may only accept cash payments so plan accordingly.
