Read about our action in the article, "Onondaga ‘LakeBack’ protest shades arrival of Seneca Chief with history of harm," that was published today by #centralcurrent.

(Though I'm sure 1 guy actually thinks Canadian govt named the lake) 🙃

Given that it existed before 🇨🇦 , that the province takes its name from the lake, & "Ontario" is from a Wyandot word

This is just another example that 🇺🇸 still takes every opportunity to engage in indigenous erasure

#LakeBack
Pathetic -- Google is now referring to Lake Ontario as "Lake America"

The 'Seneca Chief' is now in the Mohawk Watershed, on its symbolic journey along the length of the Erie Canal. At stops along the way, we are reminded that the Canal had profound impacts on the Haudenosaunee, and it has become a pathway for invasive species.
