Sainte Marie among the Iroquois

Sainte Marie among the Iroquois (originally known as Sainte Marie de Gannentaha or St. Mary's of Ganantaa) was a 17th-century French Jesuit mission located in the middle of the Onondaga nation of the Haudenosaunee. It was located on Onondaga Lake near modern-day Syracuse, New York. The original mission, led by Jesuit priest Simon Le Moyne, was in use only from 1656 to 1658. The museum is open year round. The recreation of the mission only operates from May through October. A modern replica of the mission’s encampment is in operation as a museum and interpretive center. Sainte Marie among the Iroquois is a living history museum and part of the Onondaga County parks system, and is therefore designated as a municipal park itself. The site, while county-owned, is operated by volunteers who provide all of the programming and maintain the displays. In November of 2015, the center was renamed and reopened as the Skä•noñh Center – Great Law of Peace Center, a Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Heritage Site.
