“At Ganondagan hundreds of thousands of bushels of corn were grown by the Seneca people. Much of that was destroyed in 1687 by a French campaign to defeat the Seneca. We opened Ganondagan in 1987 and in 2012 we brought the Iroquois White Corn Project to Ganondagan to grow and process corn and to stimulate the growth in our communities.

The Iroquois White Corn Project provides employment for our young people. It is a great introduction to carrying on a job and showing up on time. Not only are we creating a great product, but we are also developing reliable employees and people who contribute back to their communities.

The quality of our product is evidence of the demand we have for it.”

- G. Peter Jemison, (Seneca, Heron Clan), Ganondagan State Historic Site Manager

“The mission of the Iroquois White Corn Project is to encourage Haudenosaunee farmers to grow the corn and for people in our communities to eat it for more than just special occasions or ceremonial use, making it something they eat every day,”

- Jeanette Jemison (Mohawk, Snipe Clan), Friends of Ganondagan Program Director
