Tsionkwanatiio Heritage site

This GoFundMe was developed in order to bring real meaning back to the name TSIONKWANATIIO which means "you all have a nice place again." Funding is needed to begin to properly secure the buildings for the safety of the community, maintain the grounds, as well as, pay an electric bill debt which was accrued from the small building structure, prior to 2016.

Tsionkwanatiio Heritage Site, located in the Akwesasne St. Regis Mohawk Reservation in upstate New York.

Tsionkwanatiio is an important community site that we all use for community events, summer camps, farming, ceremony, canoeing, cultural teachings such as, the making of maple syrup. After an environmental and physical assessment of the building, the Onake II Board has informed the community that due to the amount of black mold, lead paint and rot; the facilities on the property are unsafe for the community to use. In the meantime, the grounds are still available to community organizations. The Board is currently working with the SRMT Environment Program to properly secure the property but may take years.

Please lend a helping hand by contributing and lets make Tsionkwanatiio nice again. Niawenkowa.
