The Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) Influence on Women’s Rights
January 24, 2012
Herkimer County Community College’s Gender Studies Program will present a lecture by Sally Roesch Wagner on The Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) Influence on Women’s Rights. Free and open to the public, the event begins at 12:30pm Thursday, February 2 in the Robert McLaughlin College Center room 288.
This program is made possible through Speakers in the Humanities, a program of the New York Council for the Humanities. Speakers in the Humanities lectures are made possible with the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the New York State Legislature, and through funds from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation.
Dr. Sally Roesch Wagner is the Executive Director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation. She is one of the first women to receive a doctorate for work in women’s studies in the United States (UC Santa Cruz, 1978). Dr. Wagner is also a founder of one of the country’s first women’s studies programs at California State University, Sacramento (1970). A women’s studies professor for 37 years and now Executive Director of the Gage Foundation in Fayetteville, New York, Wagner is the nation’s foremost authority on Matilda Joslyn Gage. Wagner’s recent titles include: She Who Holds the Sky: Matilda Joslyn Gage (Sky Carrier Press, 2003); Introduction to the reprint of Matilda Joslyn Gage’s 1893 classic Woman, Church and State (Humanity Books, 2002); and Sisters in Spirit: Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Influence on Early American Feminists (Native Voices, 2001). Dr. Wagner also appeared in the Ken Burns documentary, Not for Ourselves Alone: The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony.
Her lecture is about the influence that the Haudenosaunee had on the early American feminists. Native American women generally had a status which would be the envy of United States women, even today. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Matilda Joslyn Gage, the two major theoreticians of the early women’s rights movement, had direct knowledge of the Haudenosaunee, writing about the superior social, political, religious, and economic status of women in the Iroquois nations.
Since its launch in 1983, the Council’s Speakers in the Humanities program has linked distinguished scholars with a diverse audience through the presentation of lectures on a broad range of topics. Each year, hundreds of cultural organizations and community groups take advantage of this program, which offers the very best in humanities scholarship to thousands of citizens in every corner of New York State.
The New York Council for the Humanities is a not-for-profit, independent affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Through statewide collaborations; programs and services that encourage imaginative thinking and critical inquiry; the Council works to ensure that the humanities are present in the intellectual and cultural life of every New Yorker.

Dairy Association Activities at Women’s Basketball Game
January 23, 2012
In conjunction with Herkimer County Community College women’s basketball game vs. MVCC on Tuesday, January 31 at 7 p.m., Herkimer County dairy farmers and their princesses will have a full-court press with the message that milk is a nutrient powerhouse containing calcium, protein and vitamin D. Bring your family for food, games, prizes, coupons and recipes.
Halftime games will include a “Mooove” It Course, “Pour One More Milk” Cup Stacking and Chug Contest and “Ahhh, The Power of Cheese” - Pizza Box Balancing Race. Courtside, the Herkimer General will take on the Herkimer Holstein Cow. T-shirts, got milk™? pencils, and cups are a few of the items that spectators will take home as prizes and giveaways.
“Dairy, fruits and vegetables are the fuel you need to play ball and have an active lifestyle,” says Jennifer Hula, 2011 Herkimer County Dairy Princess, from Jordanville. “In fact, milk is the optimum post-exercise drink because its high water content replaces fluids and prevents dehydration after a workout or game. Sore and tired muscles benefit from milk’s carbohydrate and protein content that is twice that of water or sports drinks.”
