Shako:wi Cultural Center
Shako:wi is named in honor of the late Richard Chrisjohn (Wolf Clan),
Representative of the Oneida Indian Nation, whose name means "He
Gives." The Center is an impressive, handcrafted, white pine
log building filled with items and stories from the rich past and
present of the Oneida People. A continuing theme of the Cultural
Center is the role the Nation played as the first allies of the
colonists during the American Revolutionary War. Also, a wide selection
of Oneida crafts and art fill the log walls and many displays of
Shako:wi. Free.
*An additional program can also be arranged.
