Over seven generations ago, Catholic Mohawks of Kahnawake (Caughnawaga), with their priest, Father Pierre Billiard, S.J., migrated with their box of relics of the beloved Kateri Tekakwitha to Akesasne Land Where the Partridge Drums to begin a new life. For the Greater Glory of God, they built their homes and their church near the St. Lawrence River.

A continuation of the Great Law of Peace Continued from last week The equality of the Rotiianeson: The Peacemaker, with the people who were working for peace, created a council for the Confederacy. In the Council, each clan of each nation is represented. In that way, every person within the circle of the Law knows who is his or her representative. Within the Council, no member is considered to have any greater power than any other. The Rotiianeson are equals. Since there is no voting, and a consensus is required, the influence of the...

5 Guidelines for Donors 1) Send money to organizations, not strangers. Crowdfunding and social media fundraising campaigns have become so common that when you search GoFundMe, it points to 1,008 separate appeals for aid for individuals, families or causes related to Ukraine. Most were posted by individuals, and I have no doubt that some will turn out to be fake. 2) Vet groups you’re unfamiliar with before donating to them. Verifying first that the cause is legitimate will make it easier to avoid funding scams. A useful shortcut is to look f...

by Paul Hetzler Now that the V-word has joined the list of things we mustn’t say in polite company, I hesitate to bring up the topic. No, I mean the other V-word – vaccine. Even if vaccines give you a headache, there’s a new one on the horizon which you may well like. I realize this claim smacks of a Green Eggs and Ham-style discourse. Not to worry; I won’t stalk you with promises that you’ll like getting jabbed with a mouse, in a house, in a box, with a fox, here or there, in car, or anywhere. Now that I think on it, Green Eggs and Ham was a...
by Melinda Myers You don't need a lot of space or a big budget to grow and enjoy garden-fresh bouquets. Just fill a few vacant spaces, add an extra row in garden beds or fill a container with easy care flowers started from seeds. You'll jump-start the season and enjoy earlier blooms by starting some of the seeds indoors to transfer into the garden after the danger of frost has passed. If you're not in a hurry, want to stretch your budget and extend your garden's bloom time, sow some seeds direct...
