SHARE group grows

The SHARE Farm - Strengthening Haudenosaunee - American Relations Through Education - is located off Great Gully Road in Springport on a breezy ridge with views of Cayuga Lake.

It is a unique community confluence bringing together regional college faculty and their students, local neighbors, and the Haudenosaunee. Haudenosaunee means “People of the Long House;” they are also known as the Iroquois Confederacy. The Cayuga are one of six nations belonging to the Confederacy, whose region once spanned the east side of the lake from Ithaca to Montezuma.

In 2001, the 70-acre farm was purchased by a group of non-Native citizens calling themselves the SHARE group. Eventually it was given to the Cayuga Nation as a gesture of goodwill.
