Regional Woman's Rights/Suffrage Conference

In 1914, Syracuse-based suffragist Harriet May Mills organized and chaired a three-day regional suffrage conference in Syracuse. The event was held at the Syracuse YWCA and at the Ka-Na-Te-Na Club, a then-prominent local women’s organization. Apparently the Ka-Na-Te-Na Club owned or rented space in the grand apartment building in an elegant Syracuse neighborhood. Though the club’s name is clearly of Native American derivation, its meaning is unknown.
