Haudenosaunee Women - From Sky Woman to Influence on American Suffrage

This presentation discusses the role that Women play in Haudenosaunee communities throughout history. Starting with the Creation Story and SkyWoman, the talk will highlight the important responsibilities women have with the culture, government, and communities of the Haudenosaunee.  Comparing these responsibilities and freedoms to those of American women played in influencing the ideas of early suffragists.  This talk is presented by Perry Ground, an Educator and Storyteller from the Turtle Clan of the Onondaga Nation.
