Our congregation recognizes that UU UTICA is situated on the ancestral lands of the Oneida Nation, a founding nation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. The word Haudenosaunee means “people who build a house.” On this land, in this church, we are people who build a faith community.

We also acknowledge that no matter where we live in this country, we all work and live on the traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples. Take a moment to explore the map, identify the land you are on, languages spoken, and treaties that affect the area.
We also acknowledge that we are using equipment and high-speed internet, not available in many Indigenous communities. These technologies leave carbon footprints, contributing to changing climates that disproportionately affect Indigenous people worldwide. To that end, we can support the 2021 National Tribal Broadband Strategy & the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment.
Additional suggested places to donate related to this conference include the American Indian College Fund, The National Indian Education Association and the American Indian Library Association.
