Indigenous language literacy and learning is an integral
component of the ONLC programs as they are the foundation of
Indigenous identity. This language song booklet is done in the
Mohawk language and includes three songs—a traditional song,
a children’s song and a contemporary song, all used by the
Rotinonhson:ni.
I would like to first thank our summer students (2017), Josh
Miller and Davis Jacobs who worked together with a
collaborative effort to organize, write and design this booklet.
Thank you to our translators and singers, Candace Squire,
Ojistoh Squire, Elan Henhawk, Artie K. Martin, and the students
of grade 3&4, 5&6 Kawenni:io/Gaweni:yo Elementary School.
Also thank you to Shane Powless of Thru the RedDoor and
Simon Hill for the assistance in putting the cd’s together.
This learning language song book has a cd that will accompany it.
Language learning is meant to be fun, enjoy!
Nia:wen,
