ROOTS: Language of the Seasons

As the seasons change, our languages help us understand and honor the responsibilities, ceremonies, plants, animals, and activities that mark this time of year. Learning and using our languages helps ensure that these teachings continue for future generations.

Follow along as we share Haudenosaunee words and teachings a few times each month, highlighting seasonal knowledge, cultural practices, and the connections between our languages and the world around us.

Join us in celebrating and supporting the ongoing revitalization of our languages.
