Seneca Nation of Indians

Seneca-Iroquois National Museum will design and fabricate a permanent, interactive exhibition titled "Ganönyö:g," commonly referred to as the "Thanksgiving Address," for its new Seneca Nation Cultural Center building. "Ganönyö:g" will visually represent each section of the speech with corresponding audio recordings featuring local Seneca Nation members speaking in the Seneca language. Educational packets will be developed for fourth-grade students and will contain surveys that evaluate students' understanding of the content before, during, and after museum visits. Through the exhibition, museum visitors will gain a deeper understanding of contemporary Seneca cultural beliefs, philosophy, origins, and language, helping the museum fulfilling its purpose of bringing people together in love and respect.
