Ahkwatsire Tsi Nahe Wahonise Yaken


This post contains my family line going back to my great grandparents on both parents sides. It is written in Kanyen'keha out of respect for the ancestors that have come before me.


It is up to every one of us to keep our languages, cultures, and traditions alive. Knowing your ancestors and where you came from helps give you the strength to continue the work.
