David Kanatawakhon-Maracle believes the preservation of language is equal to the preservation of a culture. As a teacher of the Mohawk language at The University of Western Ontario, he is doing his part to keep his language and culture alive.
Kanatawakhon-Maracle teaches in the Department of Anthropology and for the first time in 16 years, he is teaching First Nations 2104, Introduction to the Mohawk Language, as an online distance studies course.
