Enter to win this hand-beaded Sabres hat, created by Aryien Stevens (Joä’nö’), a 30-year old artist from the Cattaraugus Indian reservation. She is a member of the Seneca Wolf Clan and currently works at the Deadiwënösnye’s Gëjöhgwa’, or the adult Seneca immersion program in Cattaraugus.
In the words of the artist:
"I strive to create a positive and safe environment to ensure a positive language community within the students. In relation to each other, themselves and whomever they share within our communities"
Ariyien created this one-of-a-kind hat specifically for the Sabres' Native American Heritage Night, presented by Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino.
