September 14 and 15 at Onondaga Lake Park in Syracuse NY

The Haudenosaunee Wooden Stick Festival returns once again to Onondaga Lake Park. The event will feature traditional wooden stick crafters and other Haudenosaunee crafts; social dancing; presentations by Haudenosaunee Wooden Stick Makers; and the Randy Hall Memorial Master’s Lacrosse Tournament. Faithkeeper Oren Lyons reminds us, “When you play lacrosse with a wooden stick you play with all the trees and animals in the world. Plastic sticks are dead sticks and don’t have spirit.” | More
