Benefit Concert for Kanatsiohareke Mohawk Community

Kanatsiohareke (pronounced Ga na jo ha lay gay) is a Mohawk community founded in 1993 by Mohawk elder and spiritual leader Tom Porter (Sakokwenionkwas). It is located on the northern shore of the Mohawk River about one hour west of Albany, NY.
Many indigenous languages around the world are now on the brink of extinction. Kanatsiohareke has been working since 1998 to revitalize Mohawk language by offering language immersion classes, festivals, workshops, and lectures throughout the year. Kanatsiohareke is a beautiful 400 acre farm where native and non-native people can learn accurate information about the culture, history, traditions and spirituality of the Haudenosaunee.
Help support this wonderful cultural treasure and enjoy an afternoon of rich Mohawk entertainment and comraderie featuring Roy "Poncho" Hurd, The Akwesasne Women Singers,Jesse Bruchac,Kay Olan, and Tami Mitchell. Tom Porter, Mohawk/Bear Clan Elder, will be doing the traditional Haudenosaunee opening address.
