The Iroquois Indian Museum of Howes Cave will host the 29th Annual Iroquois Indian Festival Saturday and Sunday.

The children's tent will feature arts and crafts activities, including beadwork and cornhusk doll making. Local wildlife rehabilitator Kelly Martin will be available to discuss wildlife conservation in our bioregion and will present wild animals including birds of prey.
Pamela Brown "Wolf Teacher" will offer a display of educational and informational materials on wolves.
The museum's archeology department will be available to help identify archeological finds.
Mohawk educator Amanda Tarbell will give a presentation of Iroquois stories each day.
Wilderness survival teacher and mentor, Barry Keegan, will demonstrate flinknapping and other early survival skills.
Mike Tarbell will lead a walk in the museum's 45 acre park.
Native foods will be available for purchase provided by Frank and Pam Ramsey from Onondaga.
The festival will be at the Iroquois Indian Museum on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.
