Join us on Sunday afternoon as tradition meets contemporary Seneca Art on common ground with Jamie Jacobs, Tonawanda Seneca Nation, and G. Peter Jemison, Seneca Nation of Indians. 

Jacobs is the assistant curator for the Rock Foundation Collection housed at the Rochester Museum and Science Center. He is a highly skilled traditional artist, a speaker of the Seneca language, and an orator for Seneca oral traditions and ceremonies.

Multimedia artist G. Peter Jemison (Seneca, Heron Clan), has had a career that spans decades and nations, influencing generations of contemporary Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists alike. Jemison is the Historic Site Manager for Ganondagan State Historic Site, an artist, a curator, author, filmmaker, and a Faith keeper.
