DEC SERIES AT TIVOLI LIBRARY CONTINUES ON May 16
Two Row Wampum Renewal Campaign
.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Hudson River Research Reserve (Research Reserve) and the Village of Tivoli continue their monthly series entitled “Tivoli Bays Talks” on Thursday, May 16, 2013, from 7:30-8:30 p.m. Jack Manno, a professor of Environmental Studies at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry and Frieda Jacques, a Clanmother of the Onondaga Nation Council of Chiefs, will enlighten us about the history and future of the Two Row Wampum.
.
The Two Row Wampum is a 400-year-old treaty with the Dutch, the founders of New Netherlands, which became New York State. The concepts explained in this agreement are the basis of diplomatic relations between the Haudenosaunee (also known as the Iroquois Confederacy) and the United States to this day.
.
The Two Row Wampum Renewal Campaign is a statewide effort to promote understanding and respect for Native Nations. This campaign will also highlight our common obligation to protect our environment. Our campaign will do this by holding educational events throughout the year, which will include an epic canoe trip in August on the Hudson River.
.
“Tivoli Bays Talks” take place seasonally in the Tivoli Free Library. The library is located in the Watts dePeyster Hall, 86 Broadway, Tivoli, New York 12583. Programs cover a wide range of topics connecting the Tivoli Bays to the Village of Tivoli and the Hudson River. The library is wheelchair accessible. Talks begin promptly. Admission is free. For directions or further information, call 845-889-4745 x109.
.
Tivoli Bays can be accessed from public areas on both Route 9G and Kidd Lane.

Knowing the Land is Resistance: Towards an Anarchist Ecology essays
On the Canadian side of Turtle Island is a group of folks known as Knowing the Land is Resistance. They’re doing some interesting work, and I just wanted to link and highlight some of that work. You can look at their entire website here.
One of their recent projects is on developing ideas towards an Anarchist Ecology. During the month of April they will be posting essays in relation to this, and the first essay, an introduction, can be found here.
Happy reading!
Native Resistance Network members and colleagues will be presenting a workshop this coming Saturday at the NYC Anarchist Book Fair. It’s titled “Custer Died For Your Sins: How to be an Indigenous Ally”.
