About NOON
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. It is 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.
The goals of NOON are to:
* Promote understanding of and respect for the Onondaga people and culture within the broader Central New York community
* Educate ourselves and others about the history of the relations between the US and the Onondaga Nation
* Challenge racism towards native peoples
* Work with the Onondaga Nation on matters of mutual concern
