“Iahkonkwe, Woman Kind” is a piece created by John Kahionhes Fadden. A Haudenosaunee woman superimposed, represents our mother, planet earth. In her right hand, corn, one of the sustainers, the three sisters. In her left hand, deer antlers, a symbol of chieftainship along with wampum strings, gives women the authority to nominate the chiefs. The fetus represents future generations following the clan of the mother.
