Chief Leon Shenandoah, Sr.
to be held on Native American Day
Saturday, September 28, 1996
6PM-11PM
The NEW Jamesville Grove
Route 91 Jamesville-Pompey Road, Jamesville, New York
While Leon is no longer with us, his legacy is. This evening will honor the
life of Tadadaho Leon Shenandoah, Sr. and his long years of service to his
people and the Confederacy. The dinner coincides with the new state holiday,
Native American Day, which Governor George Pataki signed into law in memory
of the late Tadadaho, Onondaga Chief Leon Shenandoah. The tribute dinner
will also raise $50,000 to build a new house for Leon's wife on the Onondaga
Nation Territory. The Shenandoah's current house is scheduled to be torn
down to provide parking for the Onondaga Nation School. One of Leon's last
wishes was that we complete a home for Thelma on their Hemlock Road
property, where she can spend her remaining years. Your encouragement and
gifts of support are much appreciated. Everyone is welcome. The program
includes: drums and singers, opening prayers, social dance, keynote speaker,
dinner, dancing, and personal reminiscences of Leon.
