Indivisible Hector Schuyler County
Land Acknowledgment
We respectfully acknowledge that we live on the ancestral lands of the Seneca and Cayuga People, two of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.
The Seneca and Cayuga People lived in harmony with these lands and waters for countless generations before the onslaught of colonization. They have survived genocide and forced removal and they are still here. We acknowledge that our ability to enjoy this beautiful country is connected to their profound loss.
Therefore, we ask ALL in our community, including our government, to respect the Seneca and Cayuga People as well as the entire Haudenosaunee Confederacy and to learn the history of the lands on which we live. We resolve to work with the Haudenosaunee People to build a shared, sustainable future for ALL.
