For over 200 years, traditional Mohawk people of the Iroquois Confederacy have held a dream in their hearts that someday they would return to the home of their ancestors in the beautiful Mohawk Valley. That dream came true in 1993.
Today a small group of traditional Mohawks farm, cultivate, and preserve this land with the hope that others will follow in their footsteps. The hope is to provide a place where Mohawk people can revitalize their culture, tradition, language and spirituality.
