Podcasts about mohawk nation

Native Americans aren't often associated with New York City and its dense, vertical, iron landscape. With so many indigenous nations pushed to America's frontier in the 19th century, they usually appear in popular culture as populates of the rural West, occupying wide open spaces brimming with tipis, buffalo and pow wows. Yet the Mohawk Nation has deep roots in metropolitan New York City—where, beginning in the early 20th century, Mohawk, ironworkers contributed to building many of the iconic skyscrapers that dominate the Manhattan skyline today.   These “Skywalkers” have for generations traveled far and wide to work on the “high steel,” bringing back good wages to support their homes and building reputations as fearless laborers in the process. Today's episode takes us from Upstate NY to downtown Manhattan as we tight rope walk the iron beams of what are now some of the tallest buildings in the United States.   Pour your coffee, settle in… it's The Missing Chapter Podcast.

“We need to build a bridge between where we are and where our future generations need us to be.”In this episode, Shore Charnoe shares how growing up in connection with nature led to her developing the attributes of connection, and how she supports others to develop them as well. She tells us the four core practices that she believes lead to the most connection over time, practices that each of us can start today. Shore also gives us a behind the scenes look into the design of her summer gathering, Rekindling Connection, which is based on 8 Shields principles and has evolved to maximize the opportunity for participants to experience a culture of connection firsthand.“Shift your attention to a place of curiosity and receptivity. Go in there adventuring the same way that those children could experience it, and let's just see what happens.”About Shore CharnoeShore has had a private counseling practice since 1994. As a traditional counselor, helper, and social worker, she has directed several community clinics and many highly-effective community helping programs.

She has helped foster, raise and mentor over 100 children. She is a mother of eleven adopted and biological children and a grandmother of six. A number of her adoptive children were born with fetal alcohol syndrome and came from abusive homes where they were victims of severe abuse, neglect, and trauma. She has been a consultant for child welfare organizations.She credits much of her effectiveness to the lessons she has learned from over 20 Indigenous Elders. To name just a few specifically:She studied for 10 years under the Odawa Medewin Elder Eddie King.Shore's husband and partner, Richard Szponarski, was a student of Eddie King for over 30 years.She took her degree in Indigenous Social Work through First Nations Technical Institute under the direction of Banakonda Kennedy-Kish (Bell) , an Anishinaabe (Ojibway) Elder; Katsitsiase, also known as Betty Maracle, a Bear Clan Grandmother of the Mohawk Nation, Elder and Wisdom Keeper, and Ben Carniol, who was a Holocaust Survivor, social activist and author.Shore also studied language and traditional stories with Basil Johnson, an Anishinaabe (Ojibwa) Elder.Shore's unique gift and skill is her ability to make the lessons she learned from these and many other Elders accessible to others.

Discover the lingering shadows of the Doctrine of Discovery as we journey through the historical and modern challenges Indigenous nations face, particularly in safeguarding sacred sites like Bears Ears. Joined by Patrick Gonzalez-Rogers of the Yale School of Environment, Philip P. Arnold Arnold from the Skä•noñh Great Law Peace Center, and Sandy Bigtree of the Mohawk Nation, we unearth the cultural significance these lands hold and the urgency for conservation efforts that honor Indigenous spirituality and sovereignty. Our conversation reveals the depths of exploitation that persist while advocating for policies that truly respect the voices and rights of Native American communities.Embrace a future where humanity and nature coexist in harmony as we draw upon the wisdom of Indigenous environmental stewardship. By acknowledging the interconnectedness of all life, we challenge the prevailing narrative of human dominance over the natural world. Delving into traditional ecological knowledge, we discuss how reshaping our environmental laws and policies through Indigenous perspectives can lead to sustainable solutions that cherish the Earth for future inhabitants. Our discourse, informed by the richness of Native American philosophies, paints a vision of resource management that nurtures rather than depletes.In the spirit of healing and justice, we examine the transformative potential of restorative justice and land reparations in mending the wounds left by centuries of colonial policies. We highlight the importance of concrete measures, like land return by religious denominations, as steps towards genuine restitution for Indigenous communities. Our dialogue with historians, attorneys, and thought leaders at Yale opens up discussions on legal and political strategies for righting historical wrongs. As we share insights from conversations with bishops, we sense an emerging willingness to turn apologies into action—signaling a hopeful shift toward reconciliation and balance. Join us as we honor these crucial narratives and the pursuit of a more equitable future.Support the showView the transcript and show notes at podcast.doctrineofdiscovery.org.

Penny Peters is a member of the Akwesasne Mohawk Nation. She is the Manager at Akwesasne Travel. Penny has been an integral part of the establishment of Akwesasne Travel and furthering the development of the tourism industry in Akwesasne. Penny is currently working to promote Akwesasne Travel through marketing, partnerships, and awareness of indigenous culture. Penny has strong ties to the community, the environment, and traditional ways. Penny believes that indigenous tourism is not only a means of economic growth for communities but also crucial for cultural preservation. In 2021 Penny was elected to the NYSTIA Board and was excited to represent NY Tourism and the North Country. She has also been advocating for Indigenous tourism, especially within NY State. She hopes to help support indigenous businesses to create mutually beneficial partnerships with non-native entities to grow and strengthen the industry. On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Penny Peters about the process of developing tourism for her indigenous nation and the challenges they have faced along the journey. We discuss the tours that Akwesasne Travel has designed, their plans for marketing those programs, and the partnerships they've developed. Penny also shares the details of the tour planning process and why it was so important to ensure that her community approved every aspect. What You Will Learn in this Episode: The unique nature of the Akwesasne nation and the areas their land encompasses in New York State and across into Canada. How Penny and her colleagues are approaching tourism and the experience they hope to deliver Their focus on community artisans and how they market those small-group tours What Penny learned from other travel consultants and how she applied that knowledge to her indigenous community, taking into consideration their particular customs and needs How Akwesasne Travel got creative about what they could offer and some of their current tours Challenges that Penny and her colleagues faced in developing the tourism industry in their nation, particularly the issues around crossing the U.S / Canadian border during the COVID-19 pandemic Some of the partnerships they developed to circumnavigate problems and increase their offering Collaborations that have worked well for Akwesasne Travel and that are that they are planning to develop in the future The importance of recognizing that although you may have a plan or guideposts, sometimes you have to pivot to be successful and achieve your goals Penny's advice for others who may be starting down the path of tourism development. Developing Tourism for an Indigenous Nation There can be some unexpected challenges around developing a tourist offering as a native community, and one of those things is educating consultants and partners. There can be challenges in connecting with regional tourism offices because of the unique situation of the native people. On the podcast, Penny shares her firm belief that it is vital to keep an open mind and keep having conversations with potential partners. We also discuss the necessity of planning and preparing to develop as a tourist region and why it's so important to be able to flex when the situation changes. Akwesasne Travel's Creative Offerings Penny describes how they began to develop tours in their region, kicking off by getting out in the community, sharing their plans, and asking for feedback on where they wanted visitors to go and what they wanted to share about their culture. She describes one of their first community initiatives set up at a powwow and where they invited local artisans to start collaborating to build a large traditionally woven basket, and how that gave Penny and her team an opening to talk about their plans to bring tourists to the area and share how it would help the local economy to grow. Collaborations and Partnerships Working with other organizations is central to how Akwesasne Travel works — they have recently participated in a reenactment event set in 1784 arranged by a local museum on the Canadian side of the nation to share what life looked like at that time. On the U.S. side, they have a longstanding collaboration in place with the Wild Center in Tupper Lake, which they are planning to expand even further. The Akwesasne nation also shares and collaborates with other indigenous nations to allow visitors an insight into their cultures.

With this being National Indigenous History Month it seems appropriate to look at how our local government is adapting to make Indigenous communities a more active part of governance at City Hall. How can we acknowledge the history of the land and then refuse to give the traditional landholders more of a say in what happens upon it? We can't, and staff members at the City of Guelph are working on that. It was this time last year when we were all reckoning with our thoughts and feelings about the discovery of unmarked graves at former residential school sites. The City of Guelph has had an official land acknowledgement for almost six years now, but there was a pressing need to do more. A new position called the Intergovernmental Advisor Specializing in Indigenous Relations was created with the goal of leading the City's relationship-building with key First Nation and Métis government partners. Earlier this year, it was announced that Trevor Bomberry from the Mohawk Nation and a member of Six Nations of the Grand River was hired to fill the part, but in an example of just how in-demand smart, talented, and forward-looking Indigenous leaders really are, he's already moved on. Instead, we will address questions on this topic to Guelph Museums manager Tammy Adkin, and the City's manager of policy and intergovernmental relations Leslie Muñoz. In this edition of the podcast, Adkin will talk about how perceptions of the past are changing, how the museum staff are changing with the times, and how we can celebrate the existence of Guelph and Canada while acknowledging our difficult past. With Muñoz we will talk about the mechanics of engaging with the various Indigenous groups represented in Guelph, encouraging more participation, and the ongoing difficulties in trying to fill the new City's position meant to facilitate some of those changes So let's talk about Reconciliation out of City Hall on this week's Guelph Politicast! The City of Guelph is currently in the process of hiring a new Intergovernmental Advisor Specializing in Indigenous Relations and that job posting can be found on all the major job sites if you know someone highly qualified and looking for work. If you missed this year's National Celebration of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples in Guelph, we will have some audio from the event on this week's Open Sources Guelph.  The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean. Find more episodes of the Politicast here, or download them on your favourite podcast app at Apple, Stitcher, Google, TuneIn and Spotify . Also, when you subscribe to the Guelph Politicast channel and you will also get an episode of Open Sources Guelph every Monday, and an episode of End Credits every Friday.

This week on the SLHour we bring you the third episode of our mini-series Indigenous Voices in which we meet Indigenous people and learn from their stories, traditions, legends, languages, and cultures. This week we will hear from Thamer Linklater, who struggles with her Catholic faith, and Earl Dionne, a wood-burning artist from the Mohawk Nation.

"There is a reason why the Six Nations-Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) were not invited to Rome to meet the pope and secure an apology for the victims of the residential schools. We don't want an apology, we want justice," writes residential school survivor Doug George-Kanentiio (Akwesasne Mohawk) in a column that was widely published in April. Tiokasin and Doug discuss the recent papal apology. Doug was born and raised at the Mohawk Territory of Akwesasne. Doug George-Kanentiio was born and raised at the Mohawk Territory of Akwesasne. He attended school on and near the reservation before enrolling at Syracuse University and then the Antioch School of Law. Doug was a co-founder of the Native American Journalists Association before serving the Mohawk Nation as editor of the journals Akwesasne Notes and Indian Time. He worked with the late Vine Deloria, Jr., on the Traditional Knowledge conferences before joining the Board of Trustees for the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian. Doug is vice-president for the Hiawatha Institute for Indigenous Knowledge, a non-profit higher learning facility that is based on Iroquois principles. He resides on Oneida Iroquois Territory. Read Doug's column: https://bit.ly/39KA5dmThe second half-hour, Tiokasin discusses Native elder abuse with CC Hovie, Communications Manager at StrongHearts Native Helpline. Domestic abuse can look similar in elder relationships as it does in their younger counterparts, but some elders may be more vulnerable to the impacts of abuse and less able to get support. CC Hovie is Anishinaabe Ojibwe from the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Indians. In her job, CC develops and oversees all StrongHearts' communications and media efforts to support the organization's mission, vision and goals. Prior to working at StrongHearts, CC was the Program Coordinator for the Grand Traverse County Senior Center Network in Michigan. CC is experienced in public relations, media appearances, and marketing strategies. She volunteered as the Marketing Director for several non-profits and helped them create brand identity by leveraging her skills in electronic and print media. In 2002, CC began working in the domestic violence prevention field at the Advocacy Resource Center for the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. She attended Lake Superior State University and Ferris State University with a concentration on Business Management.

He facilitates individual and group learning processes, serving a diversity of people and organizations whether in conference rooms, schools, or in a forest. He has 25 years of outdoor and experiential education experience, applying principles of tracking and other natural-world skills to present day situations.

Ian has also taught at Naropa University for over 10 years and is a Senior Adjunct Faculty member in the Environmental Studies Program. We hit on topics from breaking patterns to embodiment to disconnection because of covid to fear-based living, to the complication of a pendulum-swinging, reactive culture around very, very important justice issues.  We sneak in a few things about teaching, too. :) Links Boulder Quest Center to find out more about one of many aspects of Ian and to get in touch with him.

Medieval English Craft Guilds were the wellspring of modern fraternalism.  From those original attempts to protect trade secrets, educate artisans, and assist members and their families, an amazing variety of fraternal orders has developed.  Those fraternal groups would have remained solely in the land where they began had it not been for the subsequent spread of British influence and culture across the globe.  Fraternal researcher Owen Snowdon joins us again to tell stories of how the British Empire spread fraternalism around the globe.  Some of the highlights of the episode include an Orange Order lodge which was chartered in a cave during the Crimean War; another Orange Order lodge chartered by members of the Mohawk Nation in Ontario, Canada; an RAOB lodge chartered by British POWs in Imperial Japan during WWII; multiple RAOB lodges chartered by British servicemen in West Germany during the Cold War; and several lodges which were held on both military and civilian ships.  The Lodge Shoutout goes to Örebrohus Lodge #87 in Örebro, Sweden, which celebrated its centennial on December 10th.  For the Odd Podge, Toby talked about his associate lodge and their newfound interest in Degree Work, Ainslie promoted the new hardcover collector's edition of the "Odd Fellows Primer," and Christopher wished everyone a warm holiday greeting.Those interested in more of Brother Owen Snowdon's fraternal research can find him on Facebook by searching "fraternal and Masonic history" or by visiting his website at http://fraternalandmasonichistory.weebly.com.

This week on Cultivating Place we're in delicious conversation with Chef Dave Smoke McCluskey, founder of Corn Mafia, and a grower/producer of such traditional corn products as Longhouse Selections' hominy, masa, and grits. Based in South Carolina, Dave is an Indigenous foods educator and member of the Mohawk Nation, who invites us all to think about the history of the ingredients in our food, especially those originating from the Native American lands we in the US live on. Dave's belief in the power of flavorful, real food stems from a very basic and lifelong curiosity about his peoples' culinary past and trying to determine not only “What has been lost?”, but also how to re-envision, and imaginatively recreate a more accurate, flavorful, and probable culinary narrative for the past, present, and future. Listen in! Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud, iTunes, Google Podcast, and Stitcher. To read more and for many more photos please visit www.cultivatingplace.com.

A new multidisciplinary dance piece that tells the story of the 1907 bridge collapse in Quebec City that killed 75 workers, many of whom were from Kahnawake Mohawk Nation, is being performed at the Spatz Theatre in Halifax on Thursday. Host Jeff Douglas spoke with choreographer Barbara Kaneratonni Diabo and artistic director Randy Glynn about the upcoming show, Sky Dancers.

In this conversation, we spoke to DJ Pøptrt, who is an Indigenous DJ and artist from the Mohawk Nation of Kahnawake. DJ Poptrt brings a very important and overlooked perspective to this conversation regarding collaboration and language barriers, specifically in the ways they impact the Indigenous cultures living near both Montreal and Toronto. She explains that the Francophone language barrier not only challenges the connection between the Anglophone artists and talent in Montreal but also, the Indigenous artists, leaving their history, their art, and their stories out of Canadian art, music, and culture on many levels. DJ Poptrt is passionate about the role that knowledge sharing and community development plays in building a music ecosystem and developing artists on an individual level.

Doug George-Kanentiio joins Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse for the full hour. A few weeks ago, the remains of 215 children were found at the Kamloops Indian School in British Columbia, Canada.The Kamloops Indian Residential school was one of the largest in Canada and operated from the late 19th century to the late 1970s. The school was opened and run by the Catholic Church until the federal government took it over in the late 1960s. Indigenous children, some as young as 3 years old, we were forcibly taken from their families and put into residential schools in Canada. Same as what happened in Native boarding schools in the United States, their hair was cut off, they were forbidden to speak their Indigenous languages, and to see their families — some didn't return home for many years. Countless children suffered terrible indignities, mistreatment, and horrors, including beatings, rape and other forms of sexual violence, disease, and even death. Residential school experiences continue to affect many survivors today. Doug George Kanentiio was one of those students. Doug attended the Mohawk Institute in Branford, Ontario, and wrote about it in a recent column, “Our Mohawk Councils Failed to Protect the Residential School Children,” published by indianz.com on June 14.Doug George-Kanentiio was born and raised at the Mohawk Territory of Akwesasne. He attended school on and near the reservation before enrolling at Syracuse University and then the Antioch School of Law. Doug was a co-founder of the Native American Journalists Association before serving the Mohawk Nation as editor of the journals Akwesasne Notes and Indian Time. He worked with the late Vine Deloria, Jr. on the Traditional Knowledge conferences before joining the Board of Trustees for the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian. Doug is currently vice-president for the Hiawatha Institute for Indigenous Knowledge, a non-profit higher learning facility that is based on Iroquois principles. He resides on Oneida Iroquois Territory with his wife, the renowned Grammy-award winning artist Joanne Shenandoah.Production Credits:Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive ProducerLiz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), ProducerTiokasin Ghosthorse, Studio Engineer and Audio Editor, WIOX 91.3 FM, Roxbury, NYMusic Selections:1.

Larry McDermott (Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nation and ED of Plenty Canada) and Dr. Dan Longboat (Turtle Clan member of the Mohawk Nation and Associate Professor at Trent University) discuss lessons for sustainability inherent in Indigenous knowledges as well as Indigenous interpretations of the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and other early treaties.

**This interview with Dr. Dan Longboat was originally published on the Akhameyimok Podcast on July 23, 2020. ** "Being faced with COVID and the complexity of it, science is just beginning to understand how those things are interconnected with one another, but our elders still have that knowledge and so it is critically important that science begin a process of engaging with indigenous communities to really understand the complexity of the world we live, both the seen and unseen." Dr. Dan Longboat, Roronhiakewan - "He Clears the Sky" - is the founding Director of Trent University's Indigenous Environmental Studies and Sciences Program -- the first of its kind in North America. Dan has spent his life dedicated to First Nations issues, stressing the importance of learning from Elders and Knowledge Holders as the foundation for identity, vision and life purposes. In this thoughtful and fascinating interview, he and National Chief Bellegarde discuss why, in this moment of COVID-19 and environmental crisis, the traditional teachings, languages, visions and knowledge of indigenous people are critically important to returning the earth to balance. Dan is a Turtle Clan member of the Mohawk Nation and a citizen of the Rotinonshón:ni (Haudenosaunee - People of the Longhouse), originally from Ohsweken - the Six Nations community on the Grand River. A special thanks goes out to the Red Dog Singers of Treaty 4 territory in Saskatchewan for providing the theme music for this podcast.

In this second part of a two part episode, Falen and Leah go beyond the sensational photos and headlines to find out what happened during 78 days of resistance at Kanesatake.

We discuss the recent events at the Unist’ot’en Camp on the Wet’suwet’en First Nation’s territory in B.C., Canada, and the wave of solidarity actions that have sprung up across Canada the past several weeks in response to the RCMP’s invasion of their territory. Over the past several weeks, the RCMP has invaded Wet’suwet’en sovereign territory and arrested numerous land defenders, including three Matriarchs — Freda Huson (Chief Howilhkat), Brenda Michell (Chief Geltiy), and Dr. Karla Tait (https://youtu.be/EgfVO6U5QuA) — to enforce an injunction to proceed with the construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline project through their unceded territory.

Authors on the Air Host Pam Stack welcomes Susan Kelsey to the studio. ABOUT SUSAN: Susan L. Kelsey lives in Lake Forest, Illinois and was inspired by her mother and grandmother (both pilots) to enjoy history and adventure. By telling the story about family history and stories about the community we live in, we can begin to understand the place we call home. .ABOUT THE BOOK: Billy Caldwell was a Métis born March 17, 1780, outside of Fort Niagara, New York (then Canada), to Rising Sun, Mohawk Nation, and William Caldwell, an Irish Captain in the British army. He was an influential leader during the dawn of America and one whose story transcends history as a man fighting for his family, a way of life, and ultimately, a home for his tribe. Caldwell found himself at the crossroads of a new America, caught between two worlds--a quickly descending minority world of Native Americans and the growing white settlers. He navigated the changing landscape by creating commerce in the Great Lakes region, following opportunities across the country and building a community for his family and friends. Situated in a unique position in 1833, Caldwell was named chief for the three Chicago tribes--Ottawa, Ojibwa, and the Potawatomi--and negotiated one of the largest land trades in American history. This treaty represented over five-million acres, allowing white settlers to occupy the Midwest and Lake Michigan area. The result was removal of thousands of Native Americans to "Indian Territory" west of the Missouri River. Since the early nineteenth century, Native Americans have worked to rebuild community, families, commerce, and equality in America. Support provided by O'Connor Communications with our thanks.

Richard Oakes was a natural born leader whom people followed seemingly on instinct. Thus when he dove into the icy San Francisco Bay in the fall of 1969 on his way to Alcatraz Island, he knew others would have his back. Kent Blansett tells Richard Oakes’ story in wonderful detail in A Journey to Freedom: Richard Oakes, Alcatraz, and Red Power (Yale University Press, 2018). Blansett, an associate professor of history at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, argues that by understanding Oakes’ life and his movement across the United States in the 1960s, we can better understand the origins of the Red Power movement. Prior to landing in San Francisco, Richard Oakes lived in the Mohawk Nation at Akwesasne, a borderland region between Canada and the United States. From there he worked with other Mohawks in the ironwork trade, constructing the New York City skyline, and became a legendary figure in the Indian Cities of Brooklyn and Seattle. Although both his time on Alcatraz and his life ended in tragedy, Oakes’ legacy is lasting and undeniable, as Native people staged fish-ins and occupations across North America based on his inspiring leadership. As Oakes himself put it, “Alcatraz was not an island, but an idea.” Stephen Hausmann is a doctoral candidate at Temple University and Visiting Instructor of history at the University of Pittsburgh. He is currently writing his dissertation, a history of race and the environment in the Black Hills and surrounding northern plains region of South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana.

The United Nations Committee to End Racial Discrimination (CERD) has been in existence for over 50 years under the auspices of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the CERD 93rd convention is now underway in Geneva, Switzerland. The purpose of CERD 93 is to examine reports on many nations regarding Human Rights compliance with data, testimony and submissions from government agencies, international NGOs such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, domestic agencies on the ground and the people who are leading the efforts in their nations. Every member of the UN is subject to review and recommendations from CERD on a rotating basis, with results from the last committee recommendations being entered into the next review phase. Canada is one of the members subject to review at CERD 93. Looking at this round's reports and the recommendations for Canada from its last review, it is clear to the UNHCR, CERD, international NGOs and stakeholders that Canada has problems. But as far as successive Canadian governments and the corporate press are concerned, Canada is still that mythical defender of Human Rights envied around the world. It is simply not the real picture. And nothing demonstrates this more clearly than the legal, economic and social condition of Indigenous Peoples throughout Canada. All the evidence is there for the world to see, just not Canadians apparently. Russell Diabo is the editor and publisher of an online newsletter that covers First Nations political and legal issues, the First Nations Strategic Bulletin. He is a member of the Mohawk Nation at Kahnawake, QC and has been an activist on First Nations issues since the age of 16. A member of the Defenders of the Land Network, Russ works with Idle No More and the Unsettling150 campaign for a National Day of Action this past July 1. Russ is a delegate for CERD 93 and he joins us to discuss Canada's false global reputation and what comes next.

Tóta Tánon Ohkwá:ri, a children’s TV show produced entirely in Kanien’kehá:ka, has been broadcasting on public access television on the Mohawk Nation territory of Kahnawà:ke for more than a decade. The show, which includes live-action puppetry and animation, tells the story of Bear, a boy who learns about his community's traditions through the guidance of his Grandmother. There's also talking corn, squash and peas. It's pretty great. But behind the felt and fun, with fewer than 200 Kanien’kehá:ka speakers out of a population of 8000 on Kahnawà:ke, there is an urgency to the show's mission. In this conversation, Ricochet’s Yasmin Hotter Yishay speaks with Tóta Tánon Ohkwá:ri’s lead director and puppeteer Konwanénhon Marion Delaronde about her 13 years with the show and what her work has taught her about the importance of language preservation efforts.

You know when you meet someone and you just click with their vibe? That was our experience with Erin Verdis. This woman is just awesome. And we are so excited to introduce you to her! Erin is a Spiritual Life Coach for Women and her work is empowering women across the country. Thank you so much Erin for joining us and for Doing the Work! In this episode we discuss the role of women and how her view has been painted by growing up in the Mohawk Nation culture. A little more background on Erin with her bio-- My name is Erin Verdis, and I am a spiritual life coach for women. I am originally from Michigan, and moved to New York City upon graduating from High School to pursue a modeling career. For over ten years I worked and lived internationally and in many cities in the states. Although full of gratitude for the opportunities and experiences this career offered me, there was definitely another side that was very competitive, often dark, challenging, and caused a lot of inner conflict for me. I eventually turned to the party scene in NYC and struggled with drugs and alcohol abuse for a while. It was a way to escape that inner conflict I suppose. Fortunately I met someone very special who helped me find a new path, one of personal growth and spirituality. I am Native American, from the Mohawk Nation of the Iroquois Confederacy, and during this time I returned to my cultural roots, our teachings and traditions, to ground me. I also began to study Buddhism and meditation, my life was unfolding and I was awakening, it was such a magical time. As the years past, I knew in my soul that I had gone through what I had so I could share my experiences to guide others along their own journey. I went to college and got my degree in Psychology & Human Development and Native American Studies. I eventually found the world of coaching and knew I had found my purpose and passion! I have led workshops on journal writing and meditation, re-writing your life story, creating a spiritual practice, nutrition, and more. I am currently working on launching my online business. I am super passionate about helping women return to their inherent femininity, learn to trust their intuition, clear out limiting beliefs and old stories, and begin creating a life that is authentic and true to them, from the inside. I am also passionate about sharing some teachings and traditions from my Iroquois heritage. I have two beautiful children, River is 10, and Skylar is 5, they are my reason for everything I do! I am so blessed and grateful for my life journey, all that has led me to this path, and all that awaits me!

Lawrence "Happy" Laughing is among a new generation of Native American singers that is bringing its traditional music and culture into a more contemporary setting. Lawrence Laughing conveys a quiet, hymn like quality in his songs. These aren't trance-inducing pow-wow chants, but gentle traditional songs that evoke his connections with his people and their environment. http://www.myspace.com/lawrencelaughing http://www.silverwave.com/laughing.shtml Teresa Bear Fox is a traditional singer of the Kaniengehaga, 'people of the place of the flint' also known as Mohawk. She lives in Hogansburg traditionally known as Akwesasne, New York. Akwesasne means land where the Partridge drums. The little birds would thump their feet and it sounded like drums. Bear Fox is a very talented lady that writes her own heart felt songs that reflect her traditions, her family, and her people. Teresa Bear Fox is a teacher at the Akwesasne Freedom School. The Akwesasne Freedom School is an independent elementary school, grades pre-K through 8, run by the Mohawk Nation.
