Kawiraksa Krew: Language Learning For The Working Squirrels

Funded Amount: $25000
The Kawiraksa Krew wants to continue operating while respecting the time and energy of our language teacher/mentor as we grow the Kanienkeha learning accomplished over the last year. We want to continue with our approximately weekly Kanienkeha sessions adding word morphology and study sessions. We want to expand our sessions to include time with additional elders, knowledge carriers, and traditional practitioners so we can see the language in action, which will occur in Akwesasne.
