Program - 8 pm Speaker: David Fadden “Kanietakeron”
David is a member of the Wolf Clan of the Mohawk community of Akwesasne. As an artist, in conjunction with formal art training, he has learned technical skills and artistic insight from his parents: John and Elizabeth Eva Fadden. His area of expertise, with respect to creating artistic images of Native Americans, has been nurtured by his paternal grandfather, Ray Fadden, designer, author and founder of the Six Nations Indian Museum of Onchiota. When he was young, David heard the Iroquois stories from his grandfather. This background has provided Fadden with an opportunity to learn about his people and recount their history, lore and legends that tie Native Americans to their lands and the natural world. Fadden tells stories, legends and tales to multi-generational audiences. His stories each present a valuable lesson in an entertaining manner capturing the attention of even his youngest audience members. David will welcome any questions about his tales or about his background and the Iroquois culture. He may also have some CDs or books available for purchase.
