Seneca Beadwork Installation

As part of a long-term collaboration with the Onöhsagwë:de’ Cultural Center of the Seneca Nation of Indians, the Museum will present an installation focused on the use of glass in the art, history, and culture of the Seneca people, on whose ancestral land the Corning Museum of Glass is located.

The installation will examine the introduction of glass beads by European traders and the economic importance of beadwork made by Seneca and other Haudenosaunee women.
