Perry Ground wore his regalia — a purple shirt for the color of wampum, turtles for his clan, and two eagle feathers among the goose feathers on his head dress to show he’s an Onondaga man — for this week’s podcast. The setting is the Iroquois Indian Museum in Howes Cave, where Ground had his first job, fresh from Cornell University, as an educator. The museum, with both historic artifacts and contemporary art, is built to resemble the traditional longhouse of the Haudenosaunee people. Ground criss-crosses the state — he told stories at Clarksville Heritage Day last weekend —sharing Native American tales with children and adults alike, finding commonalities among the stories from different tribes, and serving as an ambassador for Native American culture.
