Iakwahwatsiratátie Language Nest Kahnawà:ke

September 30 is Orange Shirt Day, reminding us how our ancestor children were cruelly punished for speaking their language. It’s not a wonder why we almost lost our language. However, it is being revitalized here in our home Community of Kahnawake.

One of the trailblazers in this revitalization is Iakwahwatsiratátie Language Nest Kahnawà:ke Mohawk Territory (The Kahnawake Language Nest) as they work with parents and children 0-5 and aim to get the language into their lives and homes at an earlier stage in life, allowing the language to be used naturally the way it should be.

Sequoia is donating 15% of all sales December 3rd [Giving Tuesday] to The Language Nest.
