A Voice from the Eastern Door
From our traditional clothing, to our ironworkers to our Kanien'kehá – the Akwesasne Traveling Exhibit is an excellent snap shot of Akwesasne.
For such a small exhibit, the displays are jam packed with information on Akwesasne.
The Akwesasne Historic Exhibit is on display at the Kanonhkwa'tsheri:io Health Facility – lower lobby until November 1, 2022. Kanonhkwa'tsheri:io just recently opened its doors to the community after being closed for several days.
Several individuals were instrumental on the creation of this exhibit, with Gail McDonald, Patti Francis, Lillian Barton writing proposal, researching, gathering background information, photographs and writing text, and items to be included in the exhibit. Robbie Lazore created the actual housing of the exhibit, with Bruce Boots designing the posters and images.
The Historic Exhibit was first viewed and displayed at Ionkwakiohkwaróron (SRMT) building. After spending several weeks at the Kanonhkwa'tsheri:io Health Facility, the traveling exhibit and will be moved to the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino at the end of November. The traveling Historic Exhibit may find its next home at the OPG Visitors Center.
The traveling Historic Exhibit is a project made available through the Mohawk Community Trust Fund, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) and the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe.
