11 a.m. ONONDAGA INDIAN NATION DEMONSTRATION — Chiefs from the Onondaga Nation and supporters will demonstrate in front of the White House in traditional dress and with a historic wampum belt commissioned for the Nation by President George Washington to signify peace and friendship while ratifying the 1794 Treaty of Canandaigua. "The Nation is not seeking evictions, monetary damages or a casino. Instead, it is asking to continue a healing process between themselves and others who live in the region, and for a ruling that would allow the Nation to continue its role as an environmental steward of the land it once conserved for centuries." The Onondaga Nation consists of a 7,300-acre territory just south of Syracuse, NY.

Location: Friends Meeting House, 2111 Florida Ave. NW.(New location.)
