BASOM – Cayuga and Seneca’s beautiful eaglet is growing strong, and is almost ready to take flight! We’re excited to be launching a small naming fundraiser. Every vote supports the continued protection, monitoring, and storytelling of this remarkable eagle family.
Name choices are Inspired by the Land and Its legacy:
- Oneida — Honoring one of the original Haudenosaunee nations, symbolizing unity, endurance, and deep cultural roots.
- Casey — A tribute to Casey Road, where the headquarters stands watch over the refuge, grounding the eaglet’s story in the very place that protects it.
- Skanon — A Seneca Nation word meaning peace and wellness, reflecting the calm strength and timeless cycle of life carried forward in this nest.

Together, we honor the land, the culture, and the future, taking wing right before our eyes!
