By: Jaclyn Hall On September 11th, 2018 community members and outside agencies gathered at the Diabetes Center for Excellence to celebrate the grand opening of the Akwesasne Clubhouse. The Akwesasne Clubhouse is a one-of-kind club made especially for Akwesasne youth to come and hang out.

OTTAWA. The Canadian federal government is searching for a retired federal judge to help guide a renewed consultation with Indigenous communities on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. The Federal Court of Appeal last month crushed the approval given to the project, saying the consultation with Indigenous communities wasn’t good enough and criticizing the lack of attention paid to the environmental impact of increased tanker traffic off the coast of British Columbia. The Liberals are still considering whether to appeal the decision, but a...
By Kaniehtonkie Kirby Kawarawana Jock, President and Co-Founder of The Branch of Peace Foundation, grew up in Akwesasne and like many young men here – he was taught the Kaienerakowa and the principles of "Skennen." Throughout his youth and adulthood, he tried his best to understand and live the principles of both the Great Law and peace. It was in his formative years finishing his master's degree program at the University of Washington that Kawarawana took a deeper look into Kaienerakowa. One r...

By Mahlon Smoke So, I saw ‘A Simple Favor’ and it was clearly not my type of movie. Now I like a good dark comedy and A Simple Favor seemed right up my alley. Let’s start with the film being directed by Paul Feig, who’s not one of my favorite directors but he’s okay. It just seems like his sense of humor doesn’t match up with mine. However, I won’t say that this movie wasn’t at least kinda funny, especially for the over-the-top plot points and plot twists that happened. Which is a point in this movie’s favor as I honestly didn’t know where...

Editor, Several years ago, one of the Mohawk district chiefs expressed interest in a ferry service operating between Snye and the southeastern side of Cornwall Island. I advised the then district chief that a First Nations band in British Columbia had a kinetic ferry, a ferry powered by river current, operating across narrow section of the Fraser River and suggested that the same concept might be possible in the Mohawk Akwesasne region. The then district chief expressed concern about schedule conflicts with ships that sail along the St...
By Doug George-Kanentiio I was at the New York State Fair recently and took an informal poll as to who the Onkwe think are our great heroes of the 20th century. It was most interesting to listen and write down the names. I asked Onondagas, Senecas, Cayugas, Oneidas, Mohawks and Tuscaroras the same question. There were regional selections, but others seemed to be universal. My only qualifier was that the heroes were those who have gone into the Spirit World, so we would have a clear summation of their lives. That we have heroes is critical to...
By Paul Hetzler, Horticulture and Natural Resources Educator, Cornell Cooperative Extension Many nightshades are safe and delicious, and go well in sandwiches and sauces. A few are deadly, dished up mainly by criminals, but most occupy a gray area between these two extremes. Worldwide, there are around 2,700 shades of nightshade, a family known to Latin geeks as Solanaceae. The family comprises tasty crops like tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers, and tomatillos. It is also composed in part by jimsonweed and other shady characters which have...

It is said by the wise men of old, my nephew, that Non-gwat-gwa, the Fox and Joeagah, the Raccoon, once played tricks on each other, which made them enemies for life. It was all an affair over swamping hum-houses and fireballs, and it ended in Raccoon making his home in the treetops. Fox was walking down the woodland trail one warm sunny day. He was feeling in good humor because a plump grouse had gone down his throat. “Now, then”, said he, “I would be perfectly satisfied if I had one of those rare magic pawpaws to eat!” Now it must be explaine...
