Event Details

Creation is undoubtedly the most important event in our history.


Please join us for the extensive Creation teachings shared by the important Six Nations Elder, Tehahenteh, in two four-hour morning sessions on consecutive Fridays: March 15th and 22nd, 2024.

Skywoman falls to the back of a turtle, into a watery abyss. From there, all life arises, partly with the assistance of the animals, the birth of children, the twins, and partly with the earth and the plants.

Tehahenteh will use an understanding of the Kanienkeha’:ka (Mohawk) language to explain each part of the words – providing a teaching that shares the meaning and linguistic construction of the Creation story.

 

The event is free of charge and registration is preferred, but not required. Attending for only parts of either day is also welcome – come as you are able to.
