"An Update on the Haudenosaunee struggle" an evening of film and discussion with Danielle Schenandoah of the Oneida Nation.
The Haudenosaunee still remain within their aboriginal homelands, now what is New York State. The current issues that affect and face all New Yorkers are taxes, native gaming, land claims, sustainability, and future working relations with the natives. These issues affect us all regardless of race or gender. There will be Film and discussions, an update and networking to bring solidarity with Indigenous Peoples from your back yard.
Danielle Schenandoah founded Ka-na-hi:Yo (It is a Good Seed), while in exile from her Sovereign territory to teach Traditional Iroquois farming methods to communities,and land trusts, bringing back the balance with Mother Earth for the next 7 generations. She has been traveling since Ray Halbritter was federally appointed dictator to the Sovereign Oneida territory- illegally. The deal was an exchange of the final winning NAFTA vote for a secret gaming compact.
Mission Statement
Bluestockings is a radical bookstore, fair trade cafe, and activist center in
the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Through words, art, food, activism, education,
and community, we strive to create a space that welcomes and empowers all
people. We actively support movements that challenge hierarchy and all systems
of oppression, including but not limited to patriarchy, heterosexism, the gender
binary, white supremacy and classism, within society as well as our own
movements. We seek to make our space and resources available to such movements
for meetings, events, and research. Additionally, we offer educational
programming that promotes centered, strategic, and visionary thinking, towards
the realization of a society that is infinitely creative, truly democratic,
equitable, ecological, and free.
Directions:
