This Place-Name Markers Guide was created by New York Folklore.
This project was made possible, in part, by the William G Pomeroy Foundation and Humanities NY.
Partners include the New York State Parks System through the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, and collaboratively with The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes, the On hsagw :de’ Cultural Center (Seneca), Local Learning: The National Network for Folk Arts in Education, Catskills Folk Connection, Regional Economic Development agencies, and conservation partners such as the Schoharie River Center, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
New York Folklore is engaged in a place-marking project to mark places of significance to Indigenous histories of New York State. Through the lens of collected narratives and community histories, the project provides alternative cultural and social histories of the region, providing a more equitable lens through which to portray significant sites within the Susquehanna Watershed of the Chesapeake Bay.
