Oneidas Showcase Skills, Take Home Ribbons from Six Nations Indian Village

Each year the Six Nations Agricultural Society Indian Village at the Great New York State Fair unites the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Mohawk and Tuscarora nations for thirteen days to exhibit the American Indian history and culture of Central New York. This year was a record-breaker for overall attendance at the Fair, with many visitors taking in the sights and sounds at the Indian Village.

Congratulations to all the winners from the 2019 Six Nations Indian Village competitions. (this list is based on the winners listed here: https://nysfair.ny.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/2019-Indian-Village-results.pdf – other Members may have received ribbons not listed)
