250 Years of Haudenosaunee History

 When many people think of the Haudenosaunee, they often imagine living in the forest prior to contact with Europeans. Or they think of trading Beaver pelts or other colonial era activities. But what has happened since the United States was founded in 1776? What role have the Haudenosaunee played in the history and culture of New York State? What relationships have been maintained between the governments of the United States, Canada, and the Haudenosaunee over these years? Why has there been such great movement of people to many different areas? What issues still face the Haudenosaunee today as they struggle to maintain culture, land, language, and tradition in an ever-changing world? This PowerPoint slideshow will highlight how the Haudenosaunee were shaped by, and contributed to, the growing country, and how they adapted to the changing technology and government policies that shape our world.
