My name is Henri Maracle, and I am of mohawk descent. I was born in Hamilton and moved to the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory at a very young age where I was immersed deeply into my culture and gained pride from being such. Through the years of growing up and living in Tyendinaga, I participated and overseen many festivals, ceremonies, workshops and Programs. A few of which include socials, death ceremonies, bead/rattle/water drum and dreamcatcher workshops and Harvest ceremonies. I was also involved in a drama program for youth that told the mohawk creation story through play.
