The Onondaga Nation is petitioning the Organization of American States (OAS) for land rights to Onondaga Lake, a notoriously polluted body of water in Central New York State.

The nation eventually lost its foothold on the lake, which became polluted in the 19th and 20th centuries as industries dumped mercury, salt and other contaminants into the water.

Shortly before noon, Tadodaho (spiritual leader) Sid Hill and other representatives of the Onondaga Nation unfurled a 25-foot blue banner.

Looking at the ecocide caused and still being caused by the Erie Canal and Onondaga Lake, we ask ourselves: What does the Erie Canal symbolize?

Betty Hill (Lyons), AILA’s president and executive director, said the organization first held the event to bring back the game of lacrosse to Onondaga Lake and Syracuse.

Haudenosaunee values center around peace and humans’ spiritual connection to the Earth.

Few people have had an impact on the sport like Simmons.

Lyons and Simmons will receive the award named for their old friend at a dinner on Sept. 12, a Friday, at the Bellevue Country Club.
