The Onondaga Nation (Iroquois Reservation) is just south of Syracuse, NY, on I-87. That's a fairly major highway between the NYC area and upstate NY. And we go by it every time we go to visit my daughter-in-law's family in Rochester. (But last XMs the highway was closed down by the State Police because of the blizzard.)

I found out while looking at some of the stuff in the gift shop that the Iroquois Confederacy<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iroquois#Iroquois_Confederacy", a treaty among six Native American nations, was one of the sources Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson drew from in creating the US Constitution.
