The\u00a0Kanien\u2019keh\u00e1:ka Onkwaw\u00e9n:na Raotiti\u00f3hkwa Language and Cultural Center<\/a>\u00a0(KORLCC) was founded in 1978 in Kahnaw\u00e0:ke with the aim of preserving and enriching the Kanien\u2019keh\u00e1:ka (Mohawk) culture and language through cultural and educational activities. In particular, it offers exhibitions, workshops, and events open to all, a televised puppet show for young children, a library and a language immersion program. The Center is also working to collect, preserve and share the oral history of beadwork, as well as the photographic history of the Kanien’keh\u00e1:ka community.<\/p>\n

Oher\u00f3kon Kahnawake and the Kanien\u2019k\u00e9ha Talk Show<\/h4>\n

Over the last few years, the Foundation of Greater Montr\u00e9al has supported some of the many projects the KORLCC has undertaken. In 2018 and 2019, FGM\u2019s Community Initiatives Program supported Oher\u00f3kon Kahnawake, which offers traditional activities and Talking Circles to adolescent girls. Participation in Oher\u00f3kon Kahnawake constitutes a rite of passage which enables girls to develop self-confidence, and confidence in their identities, as well as their knowledge and their understanding of their responsibilities toward the community. Oher\u00f3kon Kahnawake also establishes connections between their traditions and contemporary society. In 2018 alone, about 30 activities were organized, and brought together small, intimate groups for certain topics, or groups up to 40 young girls for other activities.<\/p>\n

In 2018, FGM also supported KORLCC\u2019s radio program. Kanien\u2019k\u00e9ha Talk Show is broadcast live every Wednesday at 1 p.m., then put online the following Monday, for those who want to listen via the internet or download the program and listen offline. Playlists that include the music broadcast on the show, or the stories recounted, are also created.<\/p>\n

Persist<\/h4>\n

Through the pandemic, the KORLCC has continued to run its programs, albeit remotely, and different than years past. Oher\u00f3kon put together Moon Ceremony workshops through Zoom. The Kanien\u2019k\u00e9ha Talk Show with Joe and Leo ran live weekly, with two of the Kanien\u2019k\u00e9ha Ratiwennahn\u00edrats Instructors having stepped in as temporary hosts. As a result of the pandemic, most events have been adapted to a virtual setting utilizing Zoom to bring language and culture content to the youth of Kahnaw\u00e0:ke. Some of these events included cultural workshops such as ceremonial teachings, crafting\/beadwork and leisure activities like fishing and wilderness workshops. The KORLCC is happy to continue to provide this programming opportunity to the youth of Kahnaw\u00e0:ke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":16947,"template":"","meta":[],"class_list":["post-16948","temoignage","type-temoignage","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nKanien\u2019keh\u00e1:ka Onkwaw\u00e9n:na Raotiti\u00f3hkwa Language and Cultural Center (KORLCC) -
