There was a violent incident between the 2 teams following a GMAA basketball game yesterday at Kahnàwake Survival School. A video is circulating of a fight on the court following the KSS Akweks loss to the visitors from Emmanuel Christian School. The fracas may have also involved some spectators and non playing members of the KSS student body. Robin Delaronde, the Director of education at the Kahnàwake Education Center:
“Through the interviews that we did, it was consistent, from many parties, that students or student from the opposing team did begin to make sounds, racial gestures and sounds and this is what really started the incident. So, the people who went forth and addressed the situation stating that it was not acceptable, do you know what you are doing, that type of response.”
Delaronde is disappointed that something like this happen and has yet to hear from the other school:
“No, we haven’t heard from the other school and through our contact, the contact at GMAA, they too have confirmed that the other school has not submitted any documentation or contacted the GMAA association to either express concern or submit anything in terms of a report.”
In a late day announcement, both schools agreed to meet and collaborate on creating positive educational opportunities in light of the recent KSS/ECS incident. (
