Neto Hatinakwe Onkwehowe (pronounced nan-toe ha-dee-naw-gway own-gway-hown-way) means Here lives the people in the Cayuga language. Neto is a not for profit, originally formed in 1992 in Buffalo, N.Y. Our mission is to promote and support, in the western New York area, the art and culture of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas.

 

 This year was our first for holding a winter festival in February, 2010, at Niagara Falls, New York. Shown above are pictures from snow snake demonstration.

Now Neto is hosting activities at 1201 Pine Ave. in Niagara Falls, N.Y. at the Niagara Arts and Cultural Center, where we have a small office and gift shop, displaying American Indian Arts and Crafts. 

  Neto has co-sponsored two major Native exhibits on the Canadian side of the border, We Are Of One Mind at Niagara Artists Company in 2001, beadwork exhibit with the internationally recognized artists Sam and Lorna Thomas as lead beaders. Reclaiming and Sharing at Rodman Hall Arts Centre in 2002 brought together for the first time some 37 regional native artists to participate in a month long exhibit. In 2005, Neto participated in Arts On The Town in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada and the Art of Peace Festival and sponsored Earl Dione for an Artist Talk at Beantrees Cafe.
