Longhouse Inspiration
Longhouse draws inspiration from the legacy of collaboration and democratic thinking of the indigenous tribes of North America and the philosophy of Enlightenment that emanated from Europe. Longhouse believes those values–embodied in the unique experiences our partners bring to the table–can help businesses, policymakers, philanthropists, and organizations foster the collaboration they need to thrive.
​
The name "Longhouse" pays homage to the gathering place that is historically the center of life for the Iroquois nations. The longhouse was both a home that provided shelter and the room where contracts were made, relationships formed, and leaders chosen. By tradition, all within formed a connection between nations born of trust, a mutual sense of purpose, and a search for peace.
​
Similarly, The Enlightenment that helped shape American democracy at its dawn and that remains a leading influence in the arts is shared within the construct of Longhouse today. A powerful tool for shaping opinions and driving collaboration, the arts are a soft power that deepen conversations and lead to a more meaningful and profound understanding of global issues.
​
Today's greatest challenges can best be addressed in spaces enriched and enlivened by cultural and artistic connections. These spaces have the power to impact the world.
