Skä•noñh Great Law of Peace Center, Liverpool, New York
Join us at the Skä•noñh Great Law of Peace Center for a community conversation grounded in the Deer Hide Agreement—an enduring symbol of Haudenosaunee diplomacy and responsibility. This program is part of Speaking of Revolution, a statewide series developed by Humanities New York as part of By the People: Conversations Beyond 250, a national initiative marking the 250th anniversary of American independence.
Across New York, Speaking of Revolution invites communities to reflect on “revolution” not only as a historical event, but as an ongoing process of rupture, return, and renewal—moments of breaking, remembering, and rebuilding that continue to shape civic and cultural life. At Skä•noñh, this exploration takes shape through the Deer Hide Agreement and the relationships it carries forward.
This program is part of By the People: Conversations Beyond 250, a series of community-driven programs created by humanities councils in collaboration with local partners. The initiative was developed by the Federation of State Humanities Councils and the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage.
