Games Topic 1 Return to Entry

Topic 1 Lacrosse was called the “ball game” and was a sport that was clan v. clan or nation v. nation. The 6-8 players ate special diets and practiced before each game. Then, they lined up in two rows and fought for ownership of the ball. Once you have it, you run with it until you are blocked; then, you pass it. The first team to pass the ball trough their goal a certain amount of times wins. http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/pictoria/b/5/0/im/b50921.jpg Return to Exhibit

Topic 1 Running was a sport and a job. You did it at festivals. Trained runners could run 50 miles a day. Among the many Native legends was Seneca, who was popularly known as “Deerfoot.” Deerfoot was the master of pedestrianism, a sport of long-distance running popular in the 19th century, especially in England, Ireland and Scotland. Deerfoot dominated distance racing from ten to 12 miles. He held the world record for the one-hour run – 11 miles, 790 yards – from 1863 to 1897! Indeed, his performances reshaped the sport by introducing strategies that later legends of long-distance running adopted in the first decades of the 20th century. Deerfoot competed and won against the most accomplished runners of his day. http://www.uri.edu/library/special_collections/exhibits/catlin/iroquois.JPG Return to Exhibit

Way of Life Topic 2 Return to Entry

Topic 2 The religious ceremonies were hours long. They made offerings to the creator and all of nature. They had the same religion, but other religions were allowed. There were 40 versions of the creation of the world. There was a sky world and a huge tree. The king became sick so the tree was brought to him. His wife looked through the hole and accidentally flew through. The seabirds caught her on their wings. The turtle volunteered to hold her, but they needed sand to grow the world.Three animals went down to the bottom of the sea to collect sand, but only one came up with a fistful. They put it on the turtle’s back and the seabirds put the sky woman on it. Eventually, she had a baby girl that had two boys. One came out the normal way, and the other was impatient to be born and came out through his mother’s side. Their mother died. The first one was good (Sapling); the second one (Flint) was evil. When they buried their mother, the three sisters were born—Corn, Squash, and Beans—and scarred tobacco grew from her heart. For every good thing the first one made, the bad one made something to counter that. And the Iroquois believed the earth was balanced between good and evil. http://mtview.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/iroquois_creation01_02.jpg Return to Exhibit

Topic 2 There were no school buildings so kids watched adults to learn. Until they were 8 or 9, boys stayed with their moms, sisters, and aunts to learn. Then, when they were of age, they would go out with their fathers and learn the ways of the forest, how to build longhouses, canoe building. Girls learned to make clothing, plant seeds, and harvest foods. http://www.iroquoisdemocracy.pdx.edu/images/longhouse.jpg Return to Exhibit
