A flag reflecting Paul Smith's College's solidarity with its indigenous students was raised at Paul Smith’s College on Monday after a ceremony given by Karatoten Lazore of Akwesasne. Above, from left, Tehentahawi Chubb, Keeley Jock, Annie Rochon and Nolie Thompson raise the flag in front of the Phelps Smith Administration Building. Lazore said the flag-raising “lets us know that things are going to be OK — it’s going to get better.” (Enterprise photo — Lauren Yates)

Correction: A previous version of this photo spread incorrectly said that this flag raising was in reference to Indigenous Peoples’ Day; the flag is intended to be permanent and reflect the college’s solidarity with its indigenous students and to raise awareness. The Enterprise regrets the error.
