CULTURAL EXCHANGE - Skarure (Tuscarora) Franklin Elementary students receive Native American visitors. - Kentonbee Jay and Theresa Clause, a Native American couple from the Tuscarora Reservation in Niagara County, recently visited Franklin Elementary School to teach students about Haudenosaunee culture and traditions. Jay Clause, who worked as a steelworker in Buffalo for many years, and Theresa Clause, a member of the Turtle clan, have spent years collecting a variety of Haudenosaunee artifacts. These include wampum belts, animal pelts, tools and drums. They brought many of these items for the students to see and touch. The couple began their presentation by reciting part of the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address, which students have read in class.
