Native folk singer helps save Mohawk language
Native folk singer-songwriter Atsiaktonkie will be donating half of the proceeds from all CD sales to the Akwesasne Freedom School, which without funding could result in the Mohawk language and culture diminishing completely. Akwesasne (the land where the partridge drums) is located on the St. Lawrence River in upstate New York. The school is a Mohawk immersion school for grades pre-kindergarten through six and a transition school for grades seven and eight, which combines solid academics with a strong foundation in the Mohawk culture. Atsiaktonkie’s “Four Wolves Prophecy” CD can be purchased locally at CKON Radio, The Bear’s Den, Nation Bookstore, Wild Bill’s, #9 Truckstop, Kanienkehaka Fuels on the Akwesasne Mohawk Reservation, and at www.atsiaktonkie.com.
