The Eastern Door

General information

We all want a strong, healthy and financially secure Mohawk community for ourselves and our future generations.

Kahnawà:ke Collective Impact is a long-term community engagement process to encourage community conversations to identify opportunities and challenges around:
· Language and Culture
· Education and Learning
· Employment, Jobs, and Business Development
· Health and Wellness (Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual)

It requires leadership from various partners:
· individual community members
· private business owners
· individuals who work in our schools, hospitals, non-profit
and community organizations
· funding partners
· government custodians and representatives
· and others to generate complex systems change.

Collaboration encourages community conversations, which in turn lead to eventual development of solutions.

On May 9, 2017 and May 10, 2017, Kahnawà:ke Collective Impact will be launched at a community gathering called

“Our Voice, Our Future: Creating a Stronger Tomorrow - Together”.

Two hundred participants are anticipated to gather together in conversation to identify ideas and strategies to ensure the success of our future generations in these areas—and any other areas that may be identified.

It’s Our Voice. It’s Our Future. We must create a stronger tomorrow, Together!
