Mission Statement
At Haudenosaunee Universe, our mission is to foster holistic education by integrating the ancient wisdom of the Haudenosaunee people with contemporary learning. We are committed to nurturing individuals who are deeply connected to their cultural roots while being equipped to engage with the world in ways that promote peace, sustainability, and mutual respect. Through a combination of educational lectures, immersive cultural experiences, wellness practices, and dialogue circles, we create a transformative space where knowledge, healing, and leadership are passed down for the benefit of future generations and all of humanity.
We are dedicated
to community empowerment and strive for educational excellence, blending traditional knowledge with modern learning to inspire the next generation of leaders and peacekeepers.
In our classrooms, you'll find that
the teachings come alive under the guidance of cherished knowledge keepers and esteemed leaders. Lessons unfold in a spirit of generosity and kinship.
Our well spring of knowledge holders gently invite you into the heart of Haudenosaunee philosophy through immersive explorations of the Creation Story, Great Law of Peace and first language instruction.
