Meaning: The Great Tree of Peace in the Haudenosaunee Toungue

1

Alfred State Fall 2022

A Museum Dedicated to the Life & Culture of the Haudenosuanee

Concept Statement: This concept originates from the meetings of the Iroquois chiefs at the Tree of Peace located in the Onondaga village. The Onondaga were known as the “Keepers of the Central Fire” and with this came the responsibility of keeping this sacred ground safe. These ideas translate into a building that has a large centrally located gallery space that represents the Tree of Peace. Another gallery wraps around the central gallery symbolizing the walls of an Iroquois village.
