“An Update on the Haudenosaunee struggle” an evening of film and discussion with Danielle Schenandoah of the Oneida Nation.

The Haudenosaunee still remain within their aboriginal homelands, now what is New York State. The current issues that affect and face all New Yorkers are taxes, native gaming, land claims, sustainability, and future working relations with the natives. These issues affect us all regardless of race or gender. There will be Film and discussions, an update and networking to bring solidarity with Indigenous Peoples from your back yard.

Danielle Schenandoah founded Ka-na-hi:Yo (It is a Good Seed), while in exile from her Sovereign territory to teach Traditional Iroquois farming methods to communities,and land trusts, bringing back the balan ce with Mother Earth for the next 7 generations. She has been traveling since Ray Halbritter was federally appointed dictator to the Sovereign Oneida territory- illegally. The deal was an exchange of the final winning NAFTA vote for a secret gaming compact.

Mission Statement

Bluestockings is a radical bookstore, fair trade cafe, and activist center in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Through words, art, food, activism, education, and community, we strive to create a space that welcomes and empowers all people. We actively support movements that challenge hierarchy and all systems of oppression, including but not limited to patriarchy, heterosexism, the gender binary, white supremacy and classism, within society as well as our own movements. We seek to make our space and resources available to such movements for meetings, events, and research. Additionally, we offer educational programming that promotes centered, strategic, and vis ionary thinking, towards the realization of a society that is infinitely creative, truly democratic,
equitable, ecological, and free.

Directions:

Bluestockings is located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan at 172 Allen Street between Stanton and Rivington - which means that we are 1 block south of Houston and 1st Avenue.

By train: F train to 2nd Ave, exit at the 1st Ave, and walk one block south.

By car: If you take the Houston exit off of the FDR, then turn left onto Essex (aka Avenue A), then right on Rivington, and finally right on Allen, you will be very, very close.
