Kanatsiohareke

Kanatsiohareke is a small Mohawk/Kanienkahaka community on the north bank of the Mohawk River, west of Fonda, New York. Located at the ancient homeland of the Kanienkehaka (Mohawk), it was re-established in September 1993 under the leadership of Thomas Porter, traditional Mohawk/Bear Clan and spiritual leader. The community must raise their own revenue and frequently hold cultural presentations, workshops, and academic events. A craft shop on site features genuine handmade Native crafts from all over Turtle Island (North America).
