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.

Onondaga Chief Jake Edwards To Speak in New Paltz
Presentation: Honoring Native Treaties and Protecting the Earth
Wednesday, November 14 at 7 pm
New Paltz Community Center, 1 Veteran Drive & Route 32, New Paltz map
Onondaga Nation Chief Jake Edwards will speak about the history of the Haudenosaunee and their relations with immigrants to these shores. Organizers from the Two Row Wampum Renewal Campaign will talk about that 2013 campaign which will come through the Hudson Valley.
The Two Row Wampum Campaign is a statewide educational and advocacy campaign organized by the Onondaga Nation and Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation/Syracuse Peace Council, a Syracuse-based community organization. 2013 is the 400th anniversary of the Two Row Wampum Treaty, the first treaty between the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) and Europeans. The treaty outlines a commitment to living in peace and friendship forever, meaning sustainably.
A symbolic enactment of the treaty, with Haudenosaunee and other native people paddling side-by-side with supporters down the Hudson River will start in Albany on July 28, 2013 and end in New York City on August 9. Passing through the Hudson Valley, the campaign is seeking support and organizational co-sponsorships in the region.
The presentation is free and open to the public. For more information, call NOON at 315-472-5478 or Sally Bermanzohn at 845-658-3805.
