Land acknowledgement
Nazareth reverentially affirms that the lands on which we live and work are the original homelands of the Haudenosaunee and we honor the sovereignty of the Six Nations – the Mohawk, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Seneca, and Tuscarora. We strive to honor as well as respect the diverse Indigenous peoples connected to these lands with gratitude for the land itself and the peoples who have stewarded it throughout the generations.
