Akwesasne Mohawk

The Akwesasne Mohawk are members of the Mohawk Nation, one of the Indigenous peoples of North America, primarily located along the St. Lawrence River border area between New York, Quebec, and Ontario. Their community spans across these regions, creating a unique cultural and political enclave. They have a rich history rooted in sovereignty, traditional practices, and language preservation. The Akwesasne Mohawk engage in contemporary efforts to maintain their cultural identity, assert their rights, and participate in political and economic activities within the broader Canadian and U.S. contexts.
