Chef Lorinda John, a chef from the Seneca Nations and a chef at Cornelia, has curated a few menu specials for the day!

Join us for an uplifting celebration of Haudenosaunee culture through traditional social songs and dances performed by the Gaëni:yo's Singers and Dancers. These powerful, community-centered practices are designed to bring people together while lifting the mind, body, and soul.

Join us for a screening of Sky Woman Women, followed by a panel discussion honoring Indigenous Peoples’ Day. The Sky Woman Women project holds space for 18 women storytellers from Mohawk, Seneca, and Tuscarora tribal affiliations, telling and retelling the story of Sky Woman, a Haudenosaunee creation story, to each other. The conversation happens in the round, as the women discuss and unpack the teachings of the story on a personal level. The circular structure includes the viewer as part of the conversation.
