Lecture: Maeve Kane - A War Against Vegetables, A War Against Women: Haudenosaunee Women's Experiences of the Revolution
Maeve Kane - A War Against Vegetables, A War Against Women: Haudenosaunee Women’s Experiences of the RevolutionWhen George Washington ordered the “total destruction and devastation” of Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) territories in 1779, the offensive was to that date the largest and most expensive campaign of the American Revolution. What became known as the Sullivan-Clinton campaign aimed squarely at the agricultural heart of Haudenosaunee women’s diplomatic power, cultural status, and national identity by burning cornfields and felling orchards. Continental soldiers constructed an American identity for themselves by destroying what they called Haudenosaunee women’s “home of contentment,” and despite this Haudenosaunee women preserved their nations over the course of the war.Non-members $8 - Doors open 6:30 PM
