Listen to the Elders: Haudenosaunee Principles of Peace and Democracy

Turtle Clan Mother Whatwehni:neh, Freida Jacques, is a respected leader of
the Onondaga Nation and within the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. She has served
the Turtle Clan for over 40 years.

Freida’s decades of work as a Haudenosaunee
cultural liaison within educational institutions across New York State inspired
her many published works and an extensive list of public speaking engagements
nationwide. In her retirement, Freida continues to help educate audiences about
the Haudenosaunee Confederacy: the oldest living government founded upon the
principles of Peace and Democracy.

Join Freida for a tour of the The Skä•noñh
Center and listen to her message for the next generation. Light refreshments
will be provided. Transport to and from campus is available. Please register
for this event.

This event is generously sponsored by the Maxwell School of
Citizenship and Public Affairs, the Departments of Anthropology, English,
History and Religion; as well as the Native Student Program, the Barnes Center
at The Arch, Hendricks Chapel and the Anthropology Graduate Student
Organization.
