The installation, launched in conjunction with Native American Heritage Month, features seven illuminated tipis in a show of solidarity with the Western American Indian Nations hit hardest by COVID-19 and a sharing of peace and remembrance among all during the holiday season. The Passage of Peace will run through the holidays and is located on Nation lands just prior to Exit 33 of I-90.<\/em><\/h4>\n

ONEIDA INDIAN NATION HOMELANDS (NOVEMBER 15, 2021) — In conjunction with Native American Heritage Month, the Oneida Indian Nation today unveiled a new cultural art installation called the Passage of Peace. Comprising seven illuminated tipis located on Nation lands just prior to Exit 33 of I-90, the Passage of Peace will run through the holidays.<\/p>\n

The Oneida Indian Nation chose the tipi as the Passage of Peace\u2019s central image to recognize both these Western Tribal Nations and the collective challenges of Native American people. While the Oneidas and other Iroquois tribes lived in longhouses not tipis, the tipi is a universally recognized symbol of Native American identity. The tipi represents a shared sense of purpose and determination in the face of hardship, making it the ideal choice to pay tribute to Western tribes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope The Passage of Peace will bring attention to continued hardship taking place in many parts of Indian Country, while delivering a message of peace and remembrance with our neighboring communities here in Upstate New York,\u201d said Ray Halbritter, Oneida Indian Nation Representative. \u201cThe tipi has become a universally recognized symbol of Native American identity. It also represents the traditions of Indigenous Nations in the Western U.S., many of which have experienced tremendous loss of life and suffering during the COVID-19 pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n
