On Monday, members of the Syracuse community came together to honor the land and cultures of the Onondaga nation at the Haudenosaunee Welcome Gathering.
“The purpose of a logo, or trademark, or mascot, which ever you want to call it, is to help bring us together,” said Superintendent Brent Suddaby. “It’s also clear that this particular logo wasn’t able to do that as it had in the past.”
In addition to pet therapy and meditation, Syracuse University students seeking mental health support can now work with a faith keeper of the Oneida Nation.
Legal documents from the late 19th century show how the Onondaga Nation was trying to gain back historic wampum belts. The brief also sheds light on who sold and gave away the historic artifacts.
