Culture Days Successful And Important to Wyandotte Nation

The Culture Committee is happy to report that the 2009 Culture Days celebration preceding the Pow Wow was a success.  Over 50 tribal members participated in two days of activities studying history, language and visiting with each other.  Special guests from the Wyandot of Anderdon Nation and the Wyandot Nation of Kansas joined in the program as well as Wyandotte Nation members from as far away as Arizona, Louisiana and Wyoming. 


Pictured left is Sheri Clemons, Wyandotte Nation Tribal Heritage Dept. Director
and Marty Curtin La Benne, Wyandot of Anderdon Nation.

Dr. Bruce Pearson and Dr. Craig Kopris were there to teach our traditional language which included a skit and making it all the more fun!  Impressive and important handouts prepared by Lloyd Divine, committee chairman, including Huron and Wyandot Mythology by C. M. Barbeau, were distributed to participants both in hard copy and CD form.  Our new “Preserving the future of our past…The Wyandotte Nation” brochure was distributed.  Committee member Kim Garcia taught loom beading, and Second Chief Billy Friend taught about our nation’s government. 

Ideas for the next Culture Days on September 9, 10 & 11, 2010, are being developed now and include having evening classes from 6 to 9 p.m. on Thursday and Friday (9/9 and 9/10) so those who work during the day can participate to a greater extent; more craft activity including flute making and playing; more history handouts so individual libraries can continue to be built; more interactive language work including skits; a native plant class; more communication with members announcing Culture Days 2010.  Your ideas are welcome – please send them to Sherri Clemons at the tribal center.  Please contact Sherri to request one of the new brochures.

Culture Days offers a unique opportunity to learn about our heritage.  This kind of free, educational program is not commonly available – it is special, just like all Wyandotte (Wendat) people – so take advantage of it next year!  Everyone is invited and welcome!
