It’s that time of year. The time when wáhta is tapped and bottled, and K103 Radio takes a morning to broadcast entirely in Kanien’kéha.
The Kanienkehá:ka Onkwawén:na Raotitióhkwa Language and Cultural Center hosted the annual Wáhta Radio Show Wednesday that kicked off at 9 a.m., and ran until Joe McGregor, Leo Diabo and Edward “Fine Day” Jacobs wrapped the show with their signature bluegrass stylings.
Other organizations that stopped by were Karihwanóron School, Step by Step Child and Family Center and the Iahkwahwatsirátatie Language Nest.
Students in the Ratiwennahní:rats adult immersion program pulled kitchen duty flipping pancakes and making eggs that were served up for lunch.
A seminal moment of every Cultural Awareness Month is the Mini Sing hosted by Kahnawake Survival School annually, which took place yesterday.
Groups from Iahkwahwatsirátatie, Karihwanó:ron, Indian Way, Kateri Karonhianónhnha School and the Kahnawake Youth Center joined their hosts from 9 a.m. to 2:45 p.m.
Every Monday and Wednesday since last month, a group of women and girls have been set up at the Kahnawake Youth Center needling their ways through leather and adorning Sioux-style baby moccasins destined for young Kanienkehá:ka feet.
Classes wrap Wednesday, but due to popular demand, facilitator Wahsontanoron Nicholas said there will likely be classes in the near future.
