Students who are building a strong future on the p

Students who are building a strong future on the powerful foundations of traditional knowledge inspire us every day…students like Celeste Tookoome-Hill! 😊

She’s just graduated from Six Nations Polytechnic with a bachelor's degree in Onkwehonwe Language (Mohawk stream) and is supported by the Learning from the Past Bursary through our Building Brighter Futures: Bursaries, Scholarships, and Awards program.

Immersing herself in Kanyen’kéha has been a powerful motivator for her future goals:

“Not only am I learning the language I am learning history through old Kanyen’keha words…I would like to help revitalize the Mohawk language here in Ohsweken and possibly help other Mohawk communities by creating more resources in the language so more people can hear and learn the language…Nyawenhkówa! Thank you so very much!”
