Two Row Wampum Renewal Campaign–400th Anniversary
HonorTheTwoRow.org
This event is being held to bring wider attention to an education and advocacy campaign initiated by the Onondaga Nation and Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation with major support from Syracuse University. It marks the 400th anniversary of the Two Row Wampum Treaty, the first treaty between Native Americans and Europeans. The campaign works to raise awareness of native treaties and protection of the earth. Protecting our water by supporting the anti-fracking movement in New York State is a particular focus.
