Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation (NOON) is a grassroots organization of Central New Yorkers which recognizes and supports the sovereignty of the traditional government of the Onondaga Nation. A program of the Syracuse Peace Council, NOON supports the right of native peoples to reclaim land, and advocates for fair settlement of any claims which are filed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanksgiving Circle of Peace<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For six years, Onondaga people and allies have gathered together on Thanksgiving morning on the shore of Onondaga Lake to express thanks for the goodness of the Earth and to each other for our ongoing friendship, as we work side-by-side in peace and hope for healing, justice and environmental restoration. This event draws more participants every year and is a very moving and inspiring experience. Everyone is welcome to join us, dress for the weather, light refreshments<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Act Now to Support the Onondaga Nation School and other Indigenous schools<\/strong>
New York State has consistently underfunded the three schools serving Indigenous students on their own nations for decades. We’re urging the NYS Legislature to include the full $60 million requested by this schools to the $35.7 million included in Governor Kathy Hochul’s Executive Budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
