A River Community Unlike Any Other
The people of Akwesasne have maintained a special connection to the St. Lawrence River for countless generations, relying on it for sustenance, protection, transportation, inspiration, and recreation.
Tourism an opportunity to educate visitors about Mohawk culture
On a warm day back in September, a small group of people step onto a pontoon boat on the St. Lawrence River, hair blowing in the wind. The sky is blue and the sun sparkles off the water. A travel writer from Massena, a tour guide from New York City, and some St. Lawrence University officials all sit on the boat taking in Akwesasne from the water. It’s part of a familiarization tour Akwesasne Travel planned to practice new tours they’ve been working on.
