## Syracuse University

Philip P. Arnold is a Professor in the Department of Religion, and a core faculty member of Native American and Indigenous Studies at Syracuse University. He is the Founding Director of the Skä·noñh—Great Law of Peace Center, (2012-15) and repurposed the “French Fort” on Onondaga Lake which celebrated the colonial presence in 1656-58. The new Center tells the ancient story of the formation of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) tradition known as the Great Law of Peace and its influences on American culture.
