We need to get rid of the word "Mohawk" and replace it with the proper term. Kanien'kehá:ka. If the Inuit can re-educate and get rid of the word Eskimo then so can we. I would even vote for changing the name of my own reserve from "Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte" to "Kanien'kehá:ka of the Bay of Quinte". Mohawk is a derogatory term given to the French by the Algonquins and we got stuck with it.
I am st regis Mohawk and Coast S 4:35 alish from Washington state. I grew up in Washington Its nice to see things about the Mohawk side of my heritage.
I have recently discovered I am descended from this community (upon connecting with St Lawrence and St Regis tribes and being directed to connect. I have not been able to connect as I am not sure how to. I live in Minnesota but want to connect in a meaningful way that honors my history- and I want to learn culture and language and live it every day. I am currently participating in a Dakota community- which I will continue as an honorary member- but connecting my own history dots is so important.
They want to be away from and not associate with whites so they can live traditionally. Never knew Hidden Valley Ranch and Wishbone (made by non-natives) was a traditional food.
I'm pretty much entirely European / "white". My grandfather however, certainly wasn't. I distinctly remember the trips he'd make from New York down to where my family resided in PA. He had this crazy long silver hair that he always kept in a pony tail, and a slightly cherry hue to his skin. Always wearing bandanas, and smoking bud the guy was a huge hippie in my eyes as a child haha. I had been told countless times that Mohawk ancestry that came from this side of my family, from my mother, grandfather and other family as well. I don't know the legitimacy behind these claims, nor do I pretend to carry Mohawk culture or heritage. But I'll always carry a profound amount of interest and respect for these peoples. My grandfather was the most worry-free, in the moment, nature-loving man I have ever known. My mother & her siblings never adopted the same sort of attitudes that my grandfather had. It's hard to describe, most people are so consumed with their daily happenings and this schizophrenic industrialized world that we live in, but not him. He was perfectly content with his time spent woodworking in nature, or smoking some nature to unwind with family 😂. I'll probably always associate that loving and worry-free attitude with the Mohawk people to some degree
It was a great day when Ganienkeh settled in Altona. The locals didn't like it and still don't. I remember when Kevin M. made his car backfire on purpose to scare an Indian riding his pony. Where are you now, Kevin? Oh yeah, you ran your father's store into the ground and you had to close it, but the Ganienkeh are thriving. Karma at it's best.
My great great grandfather was an Arctic explorer for the Hudson Bay company. He was born 1796 French Normand viking/ Iroquois mohawk. My father was Iroquois mohawk Me'tis from New york moved to Renfrew Ontario Canada 🪶
I don't think I can find the words to describe what watching this has made me feel, I am mohawk and was brought up in the Berkshire mountains my dad taught me to hunt fish and love off the land and say thanks and worship mother earth, and to see that you have created this community takes my breath away, I live in Florida now and I'm older and wish that I had been able to see what you have accomplished! Much love, Sherry Hoag, daughter of Kenneth Hoag, granddaughter of William Hoag of Pittsfield Mass, I do not know my great-grandparents' names but I would love to! Thank you again for sharing this with me and the rest of the world! I'm more proud than ever being mohawk!
Thank you. Very informative. Oral tradition in my family says my great grandmother was full blooded Mohawk. She was given the colonizers name. My nieces and nephews first time picking up a bow and arrow and all their shots were bullseye. Of course, the camp leaders were shocked. So much that they were put in the local newspaper. I don't know anything else about her parents. I am aware that the colonizers allowed people who were not native to Turtle Island to purchase names to be put on the Dawes roll. SMH
I'm a decendant of Cornelius Van Slyke who took a Mohawk wife in the 1600s. Also decendant of other native nations as well, and African American from the 1600s.
Watching this with tears in my eyes. i wish i knew more about the culture that should be a part of my life.. For me it all got lost trough silence - and shame.... Shame of who my fathers dad was because my grandmother got pregnant without being married - so she was married away in haste to a Norweigan man..But my father was such a handsome man with his indigenous features that he passed down to us , his children. still looking to find out more about relatives/family. (Thank GOD for DNA tests..). I hope i can visit Canada some day <3
thank you for making this. i am 1/16 Mohawk Iroquois and proud of both the irish who fought to be free as well as the native blood in me. i feel my travels help spread awareness and brings me where i am needed but it is a ray of hope to know that my ancestors way is alive and strong.
I am both Mohawk and the great grandson to Sacajawea who was Shoshone and Toussaint her husband who was a Canadian fur trader. I would love to learn the languages. Thank you for keeping the language alive.
I grew up this way. Mother Earth provided our veggies and fruit. My Mother did canning and we did maple syrup. Father went hunting for meat and he only took what we would use. We grew up with no electric, heat or indoor plumbing. We had to haul our wood a d water. It was a tuff life, but it made me a stronger woman. I know I do have some Mohawk blood in me. A lot of quotes my father & mother used were Mohawk. My spirt animals are the wolf and the beat> I am proud to say I am Mohawk!
They judge us for bad an pagans but really we were loveable caring generous an sharing people an we accepted the great peace an we lived for the day not tmrw so we didn't have big dreams like they want you to have today . Be someone your not . The government only want your ideas not you
I implore everyone to learn the language of the ancestors, or you are just talk and no action. Our culture our langues are dying, stop bitching about things and doing nothing, you owe it to your children to learn the language and pass it on.

The languages will come back. They're here already we just gotta work them.
You are not Mohawks. You have not a Ganienkeh. There are whites amongst you who made you believe you are Ungwe Ungwe.
What do you know?

The zero tolerance of drugs and alcohol got me. That needs to be world wide. Seriously. ❤❤

Eject the Council? That's hilarious
Just trying to understand part of my heritage.
who wants to live back in the stone age... these people are idiots.
These are not aboriginal mohawk people these are replacements. The aboriginal Indian was copper colored not mongoloid emigrants from Asia. SMH
I love these wonderful People !!!
