Attend a workshop in partnership with your Mohawk Students' Association, Indigenous Student Services, Athletics & Recreation and Onkwehonewe Games (pronounced On-gway-hon-way). In Kanyen'keha, Onkwehonwe translates to ‘the original or first people’. The traditional way of many Onkwehonwe is to live in harmony with Mother Earth. Living in this good way requires a balance of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Games were and are still used as a way to stay healthy and connected to a persons community. Our traditional games are used to enhance individual and team skills, as well as create sportsmanship, connection and laughter.
