Ocher Mountain

WELCOME TO @OcherMountain

Ocher Mountain documents evidence of deep Indigenous presence in the Adirondacks that challenges long-standing institutional narratives. This channel centers a remarkable archaeological landscape in New York: an ocher mine, ceremonial features, incised stones, ocher-pigmented curated deposits, and a pocket-sized ocher-finished stone carving of the very mountain on which it was found.

It also asks hard questions about the New York State Museum and New York’s cultural heritage institutions: What happens when evidence does not fit the script? What does silence protect?

This channel is about archaeology, cultural erasure, institutional accountability, and public memory. When the First People speak through stone, pigment, and place, silence is not stewardship. It is erasure.
