The people of the Seneca nation speak out - Ongweoweh NOW Chapter honored
Article Abstract:
Women rights supporters representing Seneca have eventually succeeded in establishing one of National Organization for Women's (NOW) newest chapters, with the inauguration of the Ongweoweh NOW Chapter in New York. Spearheaded by Sylvia Smith, the Ongweoweh Chapter was originally perceived as early as 1994, in protest over New York state's energy embargoes. The new chapter was honored in the presence of NOW officials during the 1999 Women of Color and Allies Summit, where Smith received the Women of Courage Award.
