Last week, the area was rocked by big wind gusts and there was the usual tree limbs littered all over, as well as power outages associated with it. After school activities were cancelled at local schools and there were reports of lawn furniture finding new homes. The billboard is on Kawehnoke at the bridge corridor and the homemade structure withstood half of the wind. What looks like a giant soufflé is a covered swimming pool on the East End of Kawehnoke.

As...

And this movie is no exception, especially with a premise as unique and well executed as this one. In his directorial debut, John Krasinski (yes, Jim from The Office) stars in the movie with his real-life wife, Emily Blunt, as a husband and wife with their two children who must su...

When the Creator - Sonkwaiatison (in Mohawk) - planted the trees of the world a decision was made to make Wahta (the Maple tree), the chief of all trees. Not only did the maple carry the words of humans to his relatives but to that species was given another task. In this part of the world the winter months may be long and cold, the land covered in heavy blankets of snow which makes food difficult to come by and would push the Mohawk people closer to their longhouse fires. The Creator noticed that the people would become ill for lack of fresh...
