Experience history that is rarely taught through a unique and powerful “blanket exercise” that fosters truth, understanding, and respect.
On Sunday, April 27, join Mohonk Consultations and Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation (NOON) for our 2025 Peace with Nature Forum.
Tickets are on sale now for Witness to Injustice—a moving program that builds understanding about our shared history as Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples and stimulates discussions and reflections that seek to provide a starting place towards righting wrongs.
Created in collaboration with KAIROS Canada, the Witness to Injustice “blanket exercise” is an interactive group teaching tool that offers an experiential illustration of what Indigenous Peoples of our region have endured through colonization. The exercise illustrates the loss and reshaping of the American landscape as European settlers and colonizers arrived and claimed the part of the world now known as the United States; especially in the territory stewarded by people of the Onondaga Nation and other Haudenosaunee peoples.
I never fully understood the depth of colonization until participating in the Blanket Exercise—it opened my eyes to the ongoing impacts on Indigenous communities.
