Libraries Provides StoryMap of Dispossession of the Onondaga Nation
As a companion to the Syracuse University Libraries’ Sound Beat: Access Audio podcast series “The Land You’re On: Acknowledging the Haudenosaunee” and the Libraries’ Research Guide that accompanies the podcast series, Darle Balfoort, Library Technician, has created an additional StoryMap of the Onondaga Nation. The focus on the Onondaga’s chronology of dispossession is hosted on Syracuse University professor Philip Arnold’s doctrineofdiscovery.org website, along with the Dispossession of the Haudenosaunee StoryMap.
Both "Dispossession of the Haudenosaunee: A Chronology in Maps" and “Focus on the Onondaga: A chronology of dispossession” were created in an interactive web-based tool that combines narrative with a chronological display of maps. It details the immense loss of land the Haudenosaunee and the Onondaga, respectively, have endured since the arrival of Europeans on the continent.
