Today, on August 9th, 2024 we recognize International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples!
Did you know…
That Roswell Park is situated in the homelands of the Haudenosaunee or Iroquois Confederacy — a league of Indigenous Nations who have the first treaties with the United States.
That’s one of the many reasons we’re proud to have access to our Department of Indigenous Cancer Health, which aims to honor the values of Indigenous knowledge, sovereignty, and respect for the environment through community-driven partnerships, collaborative research and education to reduce the impact of cancer on Indigenous communities regionally, nationally and internationally.
Thank you to our team for your efforts in helping us reduce the cancer burden on Indigenous peoples everywhere.
