This painting is about the planting ceremony. Men have prepared the field and are singing songs with horn rattle and water drum. The women, children and mothers with their babies, have gathered with their seeds and planting sticks to sow a new garden.
Ahatihentayentho is part grounded in the present and shows a combination of traditional and postcolonial contact clothing styles. It is also part dream and vision to reignite ancient practises that are based on our cosmology and the ceremonial food, agricultural cycle of the Haudenosaunee.
