The Skä•noñh–Great Law of Peace Center is a Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Heritage Center located on the shores of historic Onondaga Lake.
On January 1st 2013, the Onondaga Historical Association (OHA) took over management of the Onondaga County facility known as “Sainte Marie among the Iroquois” located on the eastern shore of Onondaga Lake. OHA re-purposed this facility into a Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Cultural Center named the Skä•noñh-Great Law of Peace Center. Skä•noñh, is an Onondaga welcome greeting meaning Peace and Wellness.
The Skä•noñh Center honors the Haudenosaunee oral history tradition by providing an oral history experience for the visitor that relates Haudensoaunee history, culture, and values from the Haudenosaunee perspective in their own words as these concepts have been handed down from generation to generation. This is a unique experience for visitors and is the only such facility in Central New York, the ancestral homeland of the Onondaga Nation, which is the spiritual and political center of the Confederacy. The Skä•noñh Center helps build a cultural bridge with the Haudenosaunee and shows how their resilience in regards to culture, customs, language, and an oral history tradition that began over a thousand years ago still continues through the present day.
