Kahnawake Women Celebrate International Women’s Day
Written by Paul Graif on 8 March 2023
It is International Women’s Day. Angie Pepper O’Bomsawin of Kahnawake, is a filmmaker, writer, director and producer.
She joined us on Tethewatharen yesterday:
“Everyday is a fantastic day to be a woman. Especially in this day and age when we are overcoming some major hurdles and finding our place and our voice. I celebrate it (being a woman) every single day. I celebrate it with my colleagues, my peers, my neice…..anyone I cross paths with.”
We were also joined by Ohendo Iehente ne Ratsisehiens (Grand Chief) Kahsennehawe Sky-Deer who said it is a great day to honor women not just in our community but across Turtle Island and the world:
“There have been women before me who have such vision drive and ambition to see some of the things we have in the community today like the hospital, the youth center, K.S.C.S. and all these great organizations that provide so much services. There are so many women in our community who are continuing to push boundaries and make a path for the up and coming children of today.”
