Three traditional Mohawk families who recently bought back a portion of their homeland in the Mohawk Valley of Upstate New York and are working to establish an economically self-sufficient traditional Iroquois community there free of alcohol and gambling. Currently they've established a Mohawk craft store, a working organic farm and a bed and breakfast. They also sponsor a summer language immersion program for all Mohawk people and a spring festival focused on educating the surrounding communities about Mohawk culture. Tax deductible donations are needed to defray the cost of renovations to the community's existing buildings and the construction of more buildings so that more Mohawk families may take up residence there. Skilled laborers, such as plumbers, carpenters, and electricians, are desperately needed for work on building renovations.
