Snow Snake Workshop

January 20 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Saturday, January 20th
1:00PM – 2:30PM

Did you know that snow snake, a traditional Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) winter game, is still played today in many Northern Native American communities? This game involves a stick that is carved and decorated to resemble a snake. Competitors throw the stick along a snow trench and try to see how far they can throw it. Now you have a chance to make your own snow snake. Join IAIS educator and wood crafter Susan Scherf for an afternoon of whittling good fun. We will provide the materials and some wood burning kits. Participants are welcome to bring a whittling knife. If weather permits, join in a friendly competition following the workshop.  

Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Please visit our website to register online. Questions? Email [email protected] or call (860) 868-0518. Price of participation including materials: $20 for Non-Members, $10 for IAIS Members.
