This event is graciously sponsored by the Finger Lakes Land Trust Finger Lakes Land Trust (fllt.org)

The town of Canandaigua will be hosting this event at Onanda Park.

We often talk about Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose, etc… but what about the concept of utilizing something in it’s entirety? It’s not a new concept, and the Native Americans truly embodied the practice in many aspects of their lives and culture.

Learn from the experts at Ganondagan about the importance of the white tail deer to the Hodinöhsö:ni’ peoples from a valuable source of food to unique and clever tools created from the bones. The furs used as a wrap to keep you warm in cold weather and a blanket for your bed, to beautiful tanned clothing and moccasins. Learn the value of the antlers, hoofs, eyes, brains, internal organs, etc. The interpreter will bring numerous examples of the varied uses of the deer.

After the class portion of this event, a light lunch will be provided, followed by a fall fauna and flora leisurely hike in the hills of Onanda park.
