Iroquois Indian Museum

In Howes Cave, New York, this nonprofit institution is devoted to the culture and history of the Haudenosaunee, or Iroquois, in the historic Mohawk homeland. Opened in 1981 and established at its present site in 1992, it was designed as a traditional longhouse, reflecting a form central to Iroquois family and community life. The institution holds the largest collection of Iroquois art in the United States and interprets the traditions and contemporary life of the Six Tribes across a span reaching back 10,000 years. It also presents modern Native exhibitions and traditional music and dance, serving as a cultural center for Haudenosaunee communities extending beyond New York.
