Description
AHSHIÁ:TON is a collection of stories based on traditional Mohawk teachings and tales. This work explores the lives and deaths of people and animals on the reservation and how the two blend into one another yet remain distinct. The stories are humorous and intense. They explore the parables of life, reflecting not just what it is to be Mohawk, or what it is to be human, but what it is to be alive.
