Two Row Wampum Renewal Campaign 10-Year Celebration
June 24 @ 11:00 am - June 25 @ 5:00 pm
June 24-25 (11 am Saturday to early afternoon Sunday)
Kanatsiohareke Mohawk Community (near Fonda, NY) and Caroga Lake Campground
This summer is the 10th anniversary of the historic Two Row Wampum Renewal Campaign. Hundreds of people came together with a spiritual commitment to renew the Covenant Chain of Friendship and educated many thousands of people about this foundational treaty and the desperate need to learn from its powerful vision and work together for a just and sustainable future for everyone.
To mark this anniversary we will gather at the annual Strawberry Festival at Kanatsiohareke on Saturday, June 24 from 11 am to 6 pm and then continue our celebrations that night and the following day at a campground about 20 minutes drive north of there. (Unfortunately, camping isn’t available to us at Kanatsiohareke.)
Camping reservations are only $20/site for the night (+$5 for those from outside NYS) and there is a reasonably priced Super 8 hotel nearby (15 minutes drive from the campground) for those who want to come but for whom camping isn’t a good option. People are responsible to arrange your own accommodations, so acting soon will mean you definitely have a place to stay!
We’re collaborating with Kanatsiohareke so there will be a time when a few Two Row organizers and participants will speak briefly and Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation will have a table with information and items for sale, including a few remaining Two Row items.
We’re hoping that many folks will join us. Take a few minutes to fill out this simple online form and let us know if you can join us: https://docs.google.com/
