Jessica Farmer, Cultural Programs Coordinator at the Shako:wi Cultural Center (Whose father is Isaiah Farmer, Onondaga Turtle Clan) is a storyteller, artist and cultural knowledge gatherer. Born on the Buffalo Fields at the Onondaga Jessica was brought up listening to her father’s traditional Haudenosaunee legends and lore. All legends and lore have traditional teaching within the tales. Jessica’s mother, Katherine, was the Oral Historian for the Oneida Indian Nation. Katherine often brought Jessica with her to work where she fostered a desire for history in her young daughter.

Continuing to learn from traditional title holders, knowledge keepers, and Storytellers, Jessica expands her knowledge of Haudenosaunee Cultural and History at every chance.
