SUPPORT THE CHILDREN
​Return of the Language
​
On September 23, 1988, mothers from the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawà:ke decided that it was necessary to establish a Mohawk immersion program to serve the greater community in an effort to revitalize the language.
Their vision was to create a home-like environment for children so that they could live the language immersed in the philosophy of the Kanien'kehá:ka.
We are pleased to share that we are now in our 32nd year!
