|  | Tuscarora Environment Newsletter |
The Tuscarora Environment Newsletter effectively promotes environmental awareness and stewardship within the Tuscarora Nation and renews pride in the Haudenosaunee heritage. This periodical, with its environmental focus, embodies the philosophy that environmental protection begins with education. The TEN covers issues such as environmental cleanups, the restoration of local habitats and efforts to bring birds back to Nation lands. In 2004 the TEN newsletter received a U.S. EPA Environmental Quality Award in New York City. Currently the TEN is distributed quarterly to Nation residents and to our lengthy mailing address. Our goal is to provide access to Tuscarora environmental issues to all Tuscaroras, either on the Nation or off. 2007 marked the 10th anniversary of the TEN, and we do hope for another fruitful 10 years. Wish us the best as we strive to bring our community a quality newsletter concerning Tuscarora. Currently the TEN Newsletter is on hiatus until further notice. It has been our pleasure to develop and write the TEN over the past 12 years. For now we are focusing on this website and our Facebook page to provide information to our community and I hope in the near future we will have a new and redesigned newsletter for the Tuscarora community. | |

TEN Final Thoughts (Winter 2005)
It would be a very strange thing, if Six Nations of ignorant savages should be capable of forming a scheme for such an Union, and be able to execute it in such a manner, as that it has subsisted ages, and appears indissoluble; and yet that a like Union should be impracticable for ten or a dozen English Colonies, to whom it is more necessary, and must be more advantageous; and who cannot be supposed to want an equal understanding of their interests. - As written by Benjamin Franklin to James Parker on March 20, 1750/51, irritated that the colonists had yet to form a union comparable to that of the Haudenosaunee. |
TEN Final Thoughts (Fall 2006)
What Indians are about, I think, first of all is community. They're about mutual support. They're about sharing. They're about understanding what's common land, common air, common water, common and for all. They're about freedom [and responsibility]. -Chief Oren Lyons, Onondaga, to Bill Moyers in a Public Affairs Television interview, about the responsibility of being Haudenosaunee. |
TEN Final Thoughts (Spring 2007)
Creation is the manifestation of energy through matter. Because the universe is made up of manifestations of energy, the options for that manifestation are infinite. But we have to admit that the way it has manifested itself is organized. In fact, it is the most intricate organization. We can't know how we impact on its law; we can talk only about how its law impacts upon us. We can make no judgement about nature. The Indian sense of natural law is that nature informs us and it is our obligation to read nature as you would a book, to feel nature as you would a poem, to be a part of that and step into its cycles as much as you can. - John Mohawk, Seneca, a Haudenosaunee scholar and author (1945 - 2006). |
TEN Final Thoughts (Winter 2007)
To me, the Canandaigua Treaty [of 1794] is proof that Peace and Friendship will last a long time with compromise. What made it so great was that it was made by the great minds and hearts of great men who were wise to know that it should be that way. I would like the whole world to know about the Treaty. Maybe there wouldn't be so much fighting. - Vernon "Barney" Jimerson, Seneca, in 1996 visiting the tomb of Timothy Pickering, the sole U.S. commissioner at the Canandaigua Treaty negotiations, in Salem, Massachusetts. |
