“Weaving the Bundle” Children Learning through Art

“Weaving the Bundle” Children Learning through Art

“Weaving the Bundle” Children Learning through Art

Weaving the Bundle invites children into a space where learning happens through creativity, storytelling, and connection to language.

Through hands-on, art-based activities, participants explore relationships to land, to one another, and to the teachings carried within Haudenosaunee ways of knowing.


In these sessions, children engage in projects such as:

  • treaty map collages
  • wampum-inspired loom creations
  • painting connections to Mother Earth
  • Turtle Island rock art
  • longhouse-based builds
  • Indigenous author book club (book selection based on age/reading level)
  • Celebrating Indigenous Artists through history
  • music moments- the importance of music and connection to the natural world
  • Art as means of independence, self expression, storytelling, symbolism and success

Each activity is guided with intention, offering opportunities to learn and engage with Cayuga language in a way that is accessible, meaningful, and connected to experience.


Rather than learning through instruction alone, participants are invited to create, explore, and reflect building understanding through doing. These sessions create a supportive and engaging environment where creativity and language come together, allowing children/youth to feel connected, grounded, and confident in their learning.


COST PER PARTICIPANT $15-50
