About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to have my grandchildren be fluent speakers of their native language by the time they are 7 years old.

ABOUT ME

As a fluent Mohawk language speaker I want to help other Mohawks learn our language as that is the key to our identity!

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you would like to be treated. I would like people to think about their actions today and how it will affect future generations.
