To explore more about occupied Indigenous land, visit: https://native-land.ca.

The St. Lawrence County Center for History and Culture occupies the traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee (the People of the Longhouse)/Iroquois Confederacy including, Kanienʼkehá꞉ka “the People of the Flint”/Mohawk, Onyota’a:ka “the People of the Upright Stone”/Oneida, Onondagaono “the Hill Place People”/Onondaga, Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫʼ “the People of the Great Swamp”/Cayuga, Onongawaga “the People of the Great Hill”/Seneca, and Skarureh “the People of the Hemp”/Tuscarora who have stewarded this land through generations. This acknowledgment is not enough to honor the people and the land, but we hope that it raises awareness about suppressed Indigenous histories and promotes the visibility of Indigenous peoples.
