And we would like to send our best wishes and congratulations to Owén:nakon Deer-Standup, our Kanien’kéha Language and Cultural Coordinator who started her new position as the Principal of Kahnawake Survival School on August 16th.

  • *July 20, 2010* -Two new stop signs have been erected on the Old Malone Highway in front of the Step By Step building. Although the speed limit is 30 km/h, cars have been caught speeding in excess of 70 km/h. Please be cautious when coming to a stop at the end of the driveway, as well as turning in to the driveway as it will take some time for drivers to become used to the stop signs.
