In response to the pandemic's threat to Indigenous communities, the Oneida Indian Nation — which is located in central New York — unveiled an art installation called "Passage of Peace."
Here & Now's Scott Tong talks with Oneida leader Ray Halbritter about the installation and the pandemic's impact on his community.
The Oneida Indian Nation, which is located in upstate New York, recently unveiled an art installation to increase awareness about the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on Native communities as well as resources around COVID-19. Titled
Passage of Peace, the installation features large tipis, which are traditional homes and gathering places.
In honor of Native American Heritage Month, the Oneida Indian Nation unveiled a new cultural art installation to highlight the impact of COVID-19 on Indigenous communities.
Unveiled on November 15, the art installation is just one of many by Native American Nations across the country. Titled “Passage of Peace,” it is presented in conjunction with Native American Heritage Month.
The tipis spotted last week along the Thruway in Verona are part of a new cultural art installation for National Native American Heritage Month, according to the
Oneida Indian Nation. Nine tipis, which are illuminated at night, are located along I-90 just before Exit 33. The installation is called Passage of Peace, and will be in place throughout the holidays.
