One of the first Daylight initiatives, the darkroom construction at Akwasasne has recently been completed, thanks to the generosity of our donors.
Approximately eight thousand Mohawk Indians live on the Akwasasne Reservation, which straddles the St. Lawrence River on the border of the United States and Canada. One of the first Daylight initiatives, the darkroom construction at Akwasasne has recently been completed, thanks to the generosity of our donors.
Located at the Akwasasne Freedom School, the darkroom is now part of the regular curriculum and is being used by children and adults alike. The Freedom School, in addition to offering a standard educational trope, gives Mohawk language lessons to members of the community.
