St. John Fisher University Partners with Community Organizations to create the Haudenosaunee Heritage Pathway
October 13, 2026
Fisher has teamed up with the Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester Museum and Science Center, and Seneca Art and Culture Center at Ganondagan State Historic Site to develop the Fall 2026 Haudenosaunee Heritage Pathway document.
The pathway document recommends an exhibit, event, or tour at each institution, highlighting Haudenosaunee culture, art, and history. As visitors explore each venue, they can receive a stamp or mark on their document. Participants who visit all four exhibits will be entered for a chance to win a prize.
At Fisher, the exhibit, “1924: Looking Back at the Last 100 Years of Hodinohso:ni Governance, Self-Determination, and Sovereignty,” is on display in the Patricia O’Keefe Ross Art Gallery in the Joseph S. Skalny Welcome Center through December 12. The exhibit showcases materials on loan from the Woodland Cultural Centre, as well as archival content from Fisher’s own Special Collections.
Exhibit goers can pick up hard copies of the Haudenosaunee Heritage Pathway at each location, or download/print their own.
Instructions:
Visit each of the four Rochester-area institutions by December 4, 2026.
Receive a stamp or mark at each location.
Once all four locations have been stamped, take a picture of your pathway document and send it to Julia Novakovic, university archivist at Fisher for a chance to win a prize. Email: jnovakovic@sjf.edu
As part of Indigenous Peoples’ Week, educational events are being held at Fisher, including a presentation on the exhibit by Novakovic, a presentation by Interfaith Minister Ori-Uhabono Diaz, and more. Visit Fisher’s events calendar for daily events.
