Weekly Meeting: Turtle Sculpture Project

A clay turtle will soon lounge off the shores of Lake Champlain in Peace Point Park, nearby the city marina at its harborside, in honor of the Haudenosaunee people who have lived here for thousands of years. Nationally-recognized Mohawk artist Natasha Smoke Santiago will mold the turtle's shell plates, each 10 inches by 15 inches in size, and will etch them with images reflective of the native culture's Creation Story. 

A working group of 13 Mohawk and non-Native people have collaborated on the project, named Tsi ietsenhtha or  "where one draws up water," since last fall and hope the artwork, to have a theme of peace, will acknowledge the Haudenosaunee people who came before and continue to live in the North Country.

Working group members Don Papson, Julia Devine and Penny Clute will discuss the clay turtle at this week's meeting.
