Come for a Day of Native American Winter Games at Ganondagan!

Saturday, February 22, 10 am – 4 pm

Outside, watch dog sled demonstrations, race small wooden snowboats (use ours or make your own), enjoy the rare opportunity to try your hand at the game of snow snake, and walk in snowshoes (bring your own if you have them).

Inside, warm up with Bill Crouse (Seneca) and the Allegany River Dancers in traditional Iroquois Social Dancing, hear traditional winter storytelling with Perry Ground (Onondaga), participate in family craft activities, visit the Wampum Learning Center, enjoy Iroquois Corn-inspired food for purchase, visit the Gallery and see the Iroquois Creation Story film.

All activities are FREE and include admission to the Seneca Art & Culture Center! Suggested donation: $10/family; $5/individual. Winter Games takes place with or without snow. Thank you to sponsors Rochester Area Community Foundation, WXXI Kids, and kidsoutandabout.com.
