An account of the resource
This intricate patchwork is a reflection of ever-changing traditional handwoven quilt work. The coverlet has been inspired by and revived from old Kanthas (quilts) of the 1900s. It's a simple yet powerful statement of repeating patterns and motifs. The colorful thread and layering with printed old sarees have a lot to say about the vibrant culture and traditional practice of upcycling.

Seneca Nation of New York
Description
An account of the resource
The creation of the 1848 Seneca Constitution was born from a crisis of survival. It was triggered by decades of aggressive land theft by the U.S. federal government, the Ogden Land Company, and internal political instability that forced a revolutionary change in tribal government. Not all members of the Seneca Nation adopted this Constitution, however. The Tonawanda Seneca Nation maintains the traditional hereditary chief structure to the present.

Description
An account of the resource
The first pension act, enacted on August 26, 1776, allowed pensions for soldiers and sailors who had been injured in the service of the colonies and were therefore incapable of earning a living. In 1862 Congress established the General Law pension system to provide support to Union soldiers that suffered permanent bodily injury while in military service and their direct heirs.
