A Brief History of the Kanienkehaka [F-26-1]

Even in modern times, what you learn in history class is often one-sided and most likely told by the oppressor, the tale of the conquering hero. For the people in Akwesasne, that story is much different than the ones you may have heard. This class is a brief history lesson told by the Kanienkehaka themselves and tells the about the timeline of events from contact to modern day.

Katrina Herne is the Outreach Worker and Community Advocate for the Seven Dancers Program, the Kanienkehaka Cultural Consultant for the French-Canadian School Board of Ontario and a lifelong learner of our traditional ways.
