The solstice has come and passed, and we hurtle towards the midwinter time. Many have celebrated the holidays, bellies are full, merriment is made, and our community of Akwesasne has made the national news.

Our community and our people have a long contentious relationship with schools from the earliest missionaries to residential and day schools and later the public school system.

We recognize the challenges, problems and pitfalls while also valuing education and the pursuit of knowledge. While there have been positive strides forward there is a great deal of resentment and unhealed Trauma when it comes to the local public schools, and the latest situation has ripped that collective wound wide open.

A local school that has the word "Mohawk" on the sign but is part of the Public School District was discovered to have a mysterious wooden crate that apparently for use upon children, and all hell has broken loose.

Today Isaac and Joshua talk about this ongoing situation from their perspectives, and also touch upon a growing topic for the North country: nuclear power.

Yippie ki yay, It's Sage Against The Machine
