Kedoh Hill, a Mohawk Wolf from Six Nations, visited the Ceremonial Culture Department to share his knowledge of White Corn braiding.
His teachings come directly from the knowledge holders across Haudenosaunee Territory who have passed these understandings down through generations. Throughout the class, Kedoh explained the many traditional and medicinal uses of White Corn and spoke about its importance to our people.
As participants braided their own cornhusk mats, Kedoh also shared the “Why the Cornhusk Doll Has No Face” story in the Cayuga language, adding another layer of cultural teaching to the workshop.
In addition to White Corn teachings, Kedoh offers a variety of workshops through his business, Haudenosaunee Cultural Teachings, including deer skinning, medicinal and tree identification, traditional cooking, traditional songs and storytelling, and traditional games for all ages.
Nya:wëh to Kedoh for coming to Ohi:yo’ and sharing your knowledge with our community.
