Rematriated Voices with Michelle Schenandoah is a groundbreaking talk show to empower truth, reclaim democracy, and live in balance with Mother Earth. Grounded in Haudenosaunee principles, Rematriated Voices invites viewers and listeners to consider their answer to one of the most common Haudenosaunee greetings, “Are you at peace?”

The 5 episode show, along with a companion podcast, is a partnership between the nonprofit Rematriation and the Special Collections Research Center at the Syracuse University Libraries.  

Join us as we uplift the voices of pre-eminent Haudenosaunee thought leaders, traditional leadership, activists and artists.
