Kahnawa:ke

"Today Kahnawa:ke ("at the rapids") is a community of approximately seventy-two hundred Mohawks, located on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River near Montreal. One of the largest Mohawk communities, it is known in the modern era for its activism - a traditionalist, energetic impulse with a long history. Kahnawa:ke examines the development of traditionalism and nationalism in this Kanien keka:ka (Mohawk) community from 1870 to 1940." "Drawing on primary documents and numerous oral histories, Kahnawa:ke provides a detailed ethnohistory of a major Kanien'keka:ka community at a turbulent and transformative time in its history and the history of the Iroquois Confederacy. It not only makes an important contribution to the understanding of this vital but little studied community but also sheds new light on recent Iroquois history and Native political and cultural revitalization."--Jacket.
