Even in modern times, what you learn in history class is often one-sided and most likely from the point of view of the oppressor. The tales of the conquering Hero is one example. For the people of Akwesasne that story is far different than what you may have heard growing up. This class is a brief history lesson told from the point of view of the Haudenosaunee (People of the Longhouse), specifically on the Kanienkeha:ka (Mohawk) of Akwesasne.
Katrina Herne is the Outreach Worker at the Seven Dancers Coalition, Cultural Consultant for the SMT Healing to Wellness Treatment Court and Canadian School Board. She was born and raised in Akwesasne and is a lifelong learner of our Traditional ways.
