Join us on Monday, March 3 at 6:30 pm at the Cuba Library for a presentation highlighting Women in Haudenosaunee communities throughout history. Starting with the Creation Story and SkyWoman, the talk will show the important responsibilities woman have within the culture, government, and communities of the Haudenosaunee. Comparing these responsibilities and freedoms to those of American women, the role that Haudenosaunee woman played in influencing the ideas of early suffragists will be discussed as well. Connections to modern traditions and issues will be also be discussed.

Storyteller Perry Ground will bring the stories to life through vivid descriptions, his rhythmic voice and a VERY active stage presence. Intended for an audience of 7th grade and up, listeners will find this presentation captivating, entertaining and very educational.
