In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, three SBU students were honored at Wednesday’s
@bonnies_mbb game for their leadership in establishing the Indigenous Student Confederacy
@sbuisc at Bona’s.
Joining President
@jeffpgingerich for the recognition were Jillian Rea of
@sbuwomensrugby and a member of the Seneca Nation, as well as Blayze Becker and Onenioteko:wa Maracle (far right) from
@bonniesmlax and members of the Mohawk Nation.
Last fall, SBU and the Seneca Nation formed a committee to strengthen the bonds between the university and the Nation, whose ancestral land the university resides on.
