"Our Mind Greets Your Mind"

The Mohawk Traditional Council is a Longhouse located in Kahnawà:ke Mohawk Territory. We are also known as the Longhouse "Up the Hill". We are people of the Kanien’kehá:ka/Mohawk Nation. The Kanienke'ha'ka (People of the Flint/those who spark the fire) are the founding Nation of the Five Nations Confederacy, Kaianerahsere’kó:wa/Great Law of Peace.

OUR WAY OF LIFE

We are Rotinonhsón:ni, "People of the Longhouse". We are not a religion, grass-roots organization, or any other type of group, the Longhouse is a way of life. Through this we choose to honor our birth-right and carry on in the footsteps of our ancestors to uphold the Great Law of Peace through matrilineal authority.

Our beliefs are rooted in our Sacred Ceremonies, Language, and Great Law of Peace. We pass on this knowledge to ensure the future of the "faces yet beneath the Earth" (future generations). We must all be of one mind!

THE PATH WE ARE ON

As a collective we have chosen the path that we are on. A great calamity has befallen our Mother Earth and all living beings upon her. We recognize the urgency and importance of putting an end to the destruction of sacred life to which we are all a witness. To do this we must restore the balance between female and male powers and achieve true matrilineal authority.

We have created this web site in an effort to communicate with people around the Earth in order to share our knowledge. The Great Law of Peace is a medicine for all Peoples of the Earth. "If any person, or Nation, outside of the Five Nations wishes to abide by the laws of the Great Peace and make known their disposition to the Chiefs of the Confederacy, they may trace the Roots to the base of the tree. If their minds are clean and they are obedient and promise to abide to the wishes of the Great Council of Peace, they shall be welcomed to take shelter beneath the Tree, TIONERATASEKOWA."
