'Ohero:kon - Under the Husk': Documentary Screening and Conversation with Director (Katsitsionni Fox)

"Ohero:kon - Under the Husk" is a 26-minute documentary following the journey of two Mohawk girls as they take part in their traditional passage rites to becoming Mohawk Women. Kaienkwinetha and Kasennakohe are childhood friends from traditional families living in the Mohawk Community of Akwesasne that straddles the U.S./Canada border. They both take part in a four-year adolescent passage of rites and ceremony called Ohero:kon "Under the Husk" that has been revived in their community. This ceremony challenges them spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. It shapes the women they become. Q+A with director Katsitsionni Fox will follow the screening.
