"MOHAWK LANGUAGE DICTIONARIES AND TEXTS

To whom it may concern;

The attached pdf file provides a listing of Mohawk language learning materials and reference texts now available for purchase from Kanyen'keha Books a small independent book company publishing Mohawk language specific materials which can be a useful resource for Mohawk language leaners, linguistic courses and programs, or as self-help guides for the independent learner.

Please feel free to circulate.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Just to confirm that there is still class tonight! Get ready for pictures! A reminder that we are on the EPILOGUE of Gaihwi:yo:. See you all tonight! Be there or be square.

Advanced Notice! Class Canceled on *MARCH 31ST*

I just thought I would let you all know in advance that class will be canceled on March 31st! I will be sending another reminder the week of!
Class will continue this week as we finish up Gaihwi:yo:. I have been getting a lot of great feedback from the class on what they would like to see covered once we are finished Gaihwi:yo:. I will do another survey in class this week! Another reminder of pictures this week! See you all Thursday :) Nya:weh

Say Cheese!

Happy Friday, Everybody!
Last night's class was information PACKED! For those of you who didn't make it out - you certainly missed out! We are nearing the end of Gaihwi:yo:, and I would love to see all of your faces out at next weeks class! Next week, I will be taking pictures of the class so be sure not to show up in your PJ's this week (even though PJ's and Gaihwi:yo: is one of the best combinations, trust me, I know)! I will be bringing photo/video consent forms for those of you who are willing to be in the pictures. REMEMBER- Thursday Night Outreach is always open to suggestion! Would would you like to see us disect in class? Alfred and I are very happy to see new faces. If you haven't been in a while- come out next week! We miss you :(.
