Professor Nathan Brinklow will explore the connection of the Mohawk language to the land in and around Kingston, noting how the Mohawk language has been embedded in local names such as Cataraqui, Ongwanada and Ontario, how these names lost meaning over time and then recovered that meaning. There will be a special emphasis on Tyendinaga.

Professor Brinklow teaches Mohawk language and culture at Queen’s University.
