*Indigenous Material Culture Workshop Audience Courtesy Guidelines:
We ask that questions be held until the end of the program or until the presenter opens the floor for them.
In Haudenosaunee tradition, only one person speaks at a time. This shows respect for the speaker and is important so that everyone hears the same words.
In Haudenosaunee tradition, speakers stand when asking questions or presenting; we encourage you to as well. It is a formal way of showing respect to your audience and a great way to project your voice.
We ask that the audience is prepared to listen with no distractions.
We ask that if objects are passed around that they be handled with care and that they be passed along quickly so that everyone has a chance to study them.
We ask that no False Face masks or Snapping Turtle rattles or images of such objects be on display in the room. They are considered sacred images and can be offensive to Haudenosaunee people when they are misused.
*Directives de courtoisie du public pour l’Atelier cultures matérielles autochtones:
Veuillez garder vos questions jusqu’à la fin du programme ou jusqu’à ce que le présentateur ouvre la discussion.
Dans la tradition Haudenosaunee, une seule personne parle à la fois. Cela montre du respect pour l’orateur et est important pour que tout le monde entende les mêmes mots.
Dans la tradition Haudenosaunee, les orateurs se tiennent debout lorsqu’ils posent leurs questions ou font une présentation. Nous vous encourageons de faire ainsi. C’est une manière formelle de montrer du respect envers votre public et un excellent moyen de projeter votre voix.
Soyez prêt.e.s à écouter sans distractions.
Si des objets circulent, il faut les manipuler avec précaution et les transmettre rapidement afin que tout le monde puisse avoir la possibilité de les étudier.
Veuillez ne pas afficher de Faux Masques ou de hochets de Tortue Serpentine ou d’images de tels objets. Ceux-ci sont considérés comme des images sacrées et peuvent offenser les personnes Haudenosaunee quand ils sont mal utilisés.
