New York State Hist. Assn.

The New York State Historical Association will partner with the Iroquois Indian Museum to refine site interpretation at a site named Otsego: A Meeting Place. The project will create new programs involving Native American interpreters and artists to more effectively reach a greater number of general and school group visitors. New programs will include a cell phone tour and wayside interpretive signage, a resident cultural interpreter program with artists, and two types of distance learning programs for K–12 teachers and students on Iroquois, or Haudenosaunee, history and culture from prehistory to today. Developing Otsego: A Meeting Place and its programs supports the association’s goal of explaining the continuum of Iroquois history.
