According to the Cornwall Standard Freeholder online, as of June 27,2009, the bridge had been closed for 4 weeks, and the Mohawks of Akwesasne, whose blockade caused the closing, had just filed a lawsuit to force the Canadian government to reopen the crossing. See http://www.standard-freeholder.com/ for any updates This is not true... The only blockade is the troopers on the US side... The Mohawks have never interfered with travel....
The Mohawk Indians, part of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy, primarily live in parts of New York state and Canada, particularly in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. Their communities are often situated along the St. Lawrence River and include reserves such as Akwesasne and Kahnawake. Traditionally, the Mohawks were known for their skill in agriculture, hunting, and trade, and they continue to maintain their cultural heritage while adapting to modern life.
The Mohawk people celebrate various cultural and spiritual events, with significant emphasis on traditional ceremonies, festivals, and gatherings. One of the most notable celebrations is the annual Mohawk Nation's "Akwesasne International Powwow," which showcases their rich heritage through dance, music, and art. Additionally, they observe seasonal events related to agriculture and the changing of seasons, honoring their connection to the land and their ancestors. These celebrations foster community bonds and preserve their cultural identity.
