Witness to Injustice

Experiential program to be held at St. James Episcopal Church, Skaneateles Witness to Injustice, a unique three-hour interactive group educational experience presented by Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation and the Syracuse Peace Council will take place at St. James Episcopal Church, 96 East Genesee St., Skaneateles, Saturday, April 13 from 9 a.m. to noon. The program is free and open to the public. Registration is required as space is limited. The program is sponsored by St. James’ Racial Justice and Reconciliation Commission.

Witness to Injustice uses an experiential, participatory model to share the disturbing history of what Indigenous Peoples have experienced through colonization with a focus on the experience of the Onondaga Nation and other Haudenosaunee Peoples.

The program seeks to foster truth, understanding and respect between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in 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.

Witness to Injustice was created in collaboration with KAIROS Canada (https://www.kairoscanada.org/) and involves facilitation by Onondaga Nation citizens and non-Indigenous allies.

KAIROS is a non-profit, ecumenical organization in Canada, working with people of faith or conscience all over the world for ecological justice and human rights. KAIROS unites Canadian churches and religious organizations in a faithful ecumenical response to the call to “do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God” (Micah 6:8).
