It seemed like there were more former chiefs than current chiefs at the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne’s General Meeting held on Saturday, January 27th. It was hard to tell which agenda item was bringing them all out as each seemed to elicit comments. MCA videotapes their general meetings and publishes them online via Youtube. For those unable to attend, this is a good way to keep up to date on council business. However, certain content, such as land claims information, is edited out, as it is not for the general public but for Akwesasne m...

Colton Boushie, 22, along with five friends took a warm afternoon to swim in the Saskatchewan River.

This story was recorded in a pamphlet, "The Seven Dancers," that was produced by Ray Fadden sometime during the late 1940s. Long ago a band of Mohawk Indians were camped on the Gon-ia-de-oh, (Lake Ontario). At that time a group of children, seven in number, formed a secret organization among themselves. Every night they would gather their little council fire in the forest near the lake and there they would dance to the beat of their leader's water drum. One day their little boy chief suggested...
