Explore the history and ongoing efforts of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Mohawk Nation to preserve their language and culture for future generations. For decades, Native American children were taken from their families and forced to attend boarding schools where their languages were banned. However, in 1979, the Akwesasne Freedom School was founded to combat this loss. Today, the school plays a vital role in revitalizing the Mohawk language and traditions, providing a place where children and adults can reconnect with their heritage. Come learn more about this powerful story of cultural resilience and the inspiring work being done to safeguard Mohawk identity for generations to come.
