Trip to Ganondagan State Historic Site

The Ganodagan State Historic Site, also known as Boughton Hill, is a Native American historic state in Ontario County, New York in the United States. This site was once a flourishing, vibrant center for thousands of Seneca people 300 years ago.

On Saturday, September 23, the IC in collaboration with the Department of Religious Studies led a trip for HWS students to the Ganondagan Site for the program, Gifts of the Haudenosaunee. This program allowed visitors to immerse themselves in the rich gifts of the Haudenosaunee culture, heritage and traditions including pottery firing and basketmaking, stew-making, social dancing, storytelling and trail walks.

This trip helped me connect the history of Native Americans to the history of other native populations who experienced a similar struggle to survive invasions by colonizers. It was so interesting to see Native Americans’ perspective on the Europeans. Alessandra Bottacin WS’17
