The healing path is justice through land back to Indigenous caretaking: fully honoring Indigenous sovereignty and caring for Mother Earth so that she may care for future generations.

The harm to the Ongweoweh way of life continues today. The canal was also an act of ecocide -- causing substantial harm to the water, land, and living beings in areas where it was constructed.

Onondaga Nation citizens & local allies dropped this banner in response to the 200th anniversary of the Erie Canal. Rather than a point of celebration, the canal is a scar on Mother Earth and part of actions by the US and NYS that amount to genocide against nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.

This banner drop is part of the #LakeBack campaign. This campaign demands that the Onondaga County Executive and Onondaga County Legislature honor their past commitments to return land at Onondaga Lake to the Onondaga Nation.

📢 This weekend, we dropped a banner that reads: RETURN MAPLE BAY -INDIGENOUS LANDS IN INDIGENOUS HANDS - #LAKEBACK
Read about our action in the article, "Onondaga ‘LakeBack’ protest shades arrival of Seneca Chief with history of harm," that was published today by #centralcurrent.
