Our Location

Nestled in the Little Finger Lakes of Western NY State, Lagom Landing is surrounded by Amish neighbors, mysterious gullies, and rolling hills.

Lagom Landing exists in the ancestral and unceded territory of the Onöndowa’ga, or “the people of the Great Hill.” In English, they are known as Seneca people, “the keeper of the western door.” Together, with the Mohawk, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, and Tuscarora, the Seneca make up the sovereign Haudenosaunee Confederacy. We pay respects to their elders past and present and reflect on the many legacies of violence, displacement, genocide and migration that allow for us to offer these programs. We are encouraged to work toward partnership with our Native brothers and sisters with a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration through such acts as:

• Getting behind the effort to change Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples’ Day;

• Checking out what children in our life are being taught in school about Thanksgiving, Columbus, and the history of Indigenous People, and, perhaps, having a talk with the school administration;

• Following Indigenous efforts to honor and promote history and culture and to strengthen traditions. Becoming a Friend of Gonondagan is a great way for people in our area to start!
