The Hiawatha Institute is a non-profit educational organization designed to bring sustainability and Iroquois cultural knowledge to the world. Courses ranging from language, history, agriculture, the arts, environmental, leadership and community solutions-and more will be made available to people of the world on-line.

You can help us achieve this goal by forwarding contributions which are tax deductible to:

The Hiawatha Institite for Indigenous knowledge, 265 Northwoods arias, Hermon, NY 13652.

Strategically placed in the heart of the Six Nations (which is comprised of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora nations), the Hiawatha Institute for Indigenous Knowledge is the only educational institution in the United States that will develop courses for a four-year degree in Indigenous Studies as a 501 3C Non-Profit Educational Foundation.

Blending traditional educational expectations with aboriginal methods, the Hiawatha Institute establishes the first comprehensive program that utilizes both century-tested techniques and creates an environment for both Native and non-Native people to share information and ideas. With a unique faculty that embraces life-experience as an equivalent to traditional educational accomplishments, the Hiawatha Institute’s faculty is comprised of Elders, Language Holders, Academic Scholars, Artists, Musicians, Dancers, Public Speakers, and other scholars that share the vision of the Haudenosaunee (Six Nation)

This faculty will add real value to students by teaching a multitude of classes that will complement existing programs by providing the indigenous perspective on a range of topics. Ultimately, it is the Hiawatha Institute's long-term goal to have an accredited degree-earning program that offers a creative and inclusive curriculum with an emphasis on aboriginal knowledge. Additionally, all of the Hiawatha Institute’s classes will be available to a world-wide audience online.

Not only will the Hiawatha Institute appeal to the younger generations as they begin their higher education, but also to those who have a keen interest in learning more about indigenous knowledge for personal awareness or formal education. While the indigenous population will certainly be at the forefront of the Hiawatha Institute’s outreach efforts, a large and mostly untapped market will be that of non-Native people who have an interest in indigenous methodology. Additionally, all of the Hiawatha Institute’s classes will be available online for distance
