5 Quotes by Onondagan authors

Rooted in the Central Fire of the Haudenosaunee, these words carry the hush of pine and the firmness of treaty belts. Onondaga voices speak in the cadence of councils, measured, attentive, hospitable to disagreement, braiding gratitude with duty. Expect teachings that lean toward reciprocity with land and waters, remembrance of ancestors, care for those yet to come, and humor that softens hard truths. The tone is steady rather than grand, ceremonial yet intimate, inviting listeners to pause, listen deeply, and act with balanced heart.
