	Alongside his parents Ray and Christine Fadden, John helped establish the Six Nations Indian Museum (now the Six Nations Iroquois Cultural Center) in Onchiota, which opened to the public in 1954. Thus began a lifelong effort to educate visitors to the Adirondack Park about the rich and vibrant culture of the Haudenosaunee (Six Nations or Iroquois). During every summer season since its opening, John was on hand, telling stories, giving historical lectures, answering questions and simply chatting with all who visited the cultural center. John was always willing to inspire other artists and encourage them on their path by sharing his artistic and cultural knowledge.
