Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte. "Kenhteke Kanyenkeha"

Abstract

This unit will give teachers the necessary information to effectively educate students around the history, culture and contemporary society of the Mohawk people located on the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory. It is with great intention that this unit has been developed to provide individuals with a rich and diverse learning experience. The information included in this document has been researched to the best of my ability but it should be noted that the history, culture, perspectives and traditions may differ among Haudenosaunee people. It should also be noted that the specific grade of each lesson activity is merely one example, but each lesson can be geared toward multiple grades. In addition to this, many of the activities simply skim the surface of cultural knowledge and teachers are encouraged to go deeper with their learning and teaching of the content within this document.
