About the event

Canandaigua Treaty Commemoration

At several of our region churches, we have been acknowledging the Haudenosaunee nation for several months now, and encouraging each other to learn more about them. Now we have an opportunity to do so!

On Saturday, November 11, we will join with the Creation Collaborative of the ABC-RGR region, on a field trip to Canandaigua. We will celebrate and learn about the Canandaigua Treaty, which took place in 1794 between the US and the Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) nation, and is still in effect today.

2:00 PM Commemoration of Canandaigua Treaty, on the front lawn of the Ontario County Court House, 27 N. Main St., Canandaigua, NY 

The commemoration lasts about 30-45 minutes. Then people are welcome to view the actual treaty at the Ontario County Historical Society, 55 North Main Street, Canandaigua.

There will be a carpool leaving from Greece Baptist Church, 1230 Long Pond Road, at 1:00pm.…

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We acknowledge with respect the various native peoples on whose ancestral lands we worship. We encourage every member of our community to learn about the original inhabitants of this land. We are committed to cultivating meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities in our region and supporting their efforts to fight systemic racism that continues to harm them. We pledge to listen to and honor them as they speak about their experiences regarding oppression and cultural genocide. They are the authorities on their own history and our role in that history. To acknowledge this land is to recognize and respect that the air, water, land, and all that inhabits them are intertwined with the spirituality of these people.
