On the Canadian border, artistry connects travelers to Mohawk culture
I booked my visit to Hill’s studio through Akwesasne Travel, the marketing organization for the Akwesasne Mohawk Territory, which straddles the U.S.-Canada border, and New York, Ontario and Quebec.

Last fall, Akwesasne Travel launched three tours to offer visitors a chance to learn about Akwesasne culture.
