Slides from the donated Utica Children's Museum interactive kiosks include the interior of a longhouse, the great turtle from the Oneida creation story, and a 1600s-era Oneida village. Oneida Nation Foundation Makes In-Kind Donation to Utica Children's MuseumInteractive Computer Kiosks Donated and Longhouse Exhibit Renovated
One of the oldest children's museums in the country, the Children's Museum in Utica provides educational and cultural enrichment to youngsters and their families. Through its diverse, interactive programs, children learn about regional history, natural history, science and culture in a non-traditional classroom setting that makes the learning experience both fun and memorable.
The Foundation recently donated two kiosks featuring interactive computer games centered upon the Oneidas' vast history and designed by the Nation's Four Directions Productions. The Nation also provided storyboards and additional culturally significant items to supplement the existing longhouse exhibit, including rattles, feather fans and water drums. In addition to the Nation's contributions, members of the local carpenters and electrical workers unions generously donated their time and effort to make much-needed additions and renovations to the exhibit.
