Wihanble S’a Center’s Spring Open House 

Wíhanble S’a Center’s Spring Open House at the Massena Campus is a bi-yearly event for all of our Bard community that brings together collaborations with nonhuman beings through hide work, shared meals, and conversation on the land. We are an American Indian-led research center grounded in Lakota knowledge systems, where learning happens through practice, relation, and responsibility. These practices form the root of our approach to developing ethical AI tools, grounding technological research in land-based knowledge, reciprocity, and care. Our Open House supports our college community by providing structured student training and a site for faculty engagement with Wíhanble S’a Center’s ongoing research initiatives.

During the Open House, guests are welcome to join us for:

* A seasonal shared feast
* Hide tanning and land-based practices (softening hides, cooking sugar aka chanhanpi aka tree juice)
* A short presentation on Wíhanble S’a Center’s latest research projects
* Conversation around Indigenous ethics and technology
* Lakota hand games!
