Ganondagan State Historic Site

 

The source that I reviewed was http://www.ganondagan.org/, this web page provides information in regards to the Ganondagan State Historic Site, “the site of a Native American community that was a flourishing, vibrant center for the Seneca people.”(Ganondagan contributors. 2014) This site provides a wealth of information on Seneca People who lived on this site and information on different tours that can be attended to learn more about the Seneca Natives who were a part of the Iroquois Confederation.  This Historic site offers group and guided tours of the Bark Long House, several different self-guided walking tours, presentations and demonstrations, all of which are very reasonably priced.

I believe that this web resource was selected and put into this course because it offers a look into the past of how the Seneca People lived.  It also provides a vast array of knowledge about the Long Houses and the daily life of the Seneca People.  Other sites that may not have been selected for this course could possibly not have provided accurate information in regard to the First People of North America. This is quality academic website because it offers many different learning opportunities when it comes to the Seneca People based on accurate information.

One of the upcoming events that they offer that is sure to provide plenty of opportunities for learning is the “Native American Dance and Music Festival on July 26-27, 2014.”(Ganondagan contributors. 2014) This event offers many attractions and demonstrations including dancing, singing, storytelling and native arts. It is a family friendly event that provides something for every age group.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the information I have read and look forward to visiting this historical site with my family. It has inspired me to learn more about the Seneca People and their native communities.
