Yakowennahskats is a platform that promotes a balanced approach to the natural world within a matrilineal society. We endeavour to elevate and uplift Onkwehonwe points of view while establishing a consistent truth within our matters. The idea was born from recognizing the importance of individuals within the Rotinonhsyonni Nations that form the confederacy. We Understand that non-indigenous govern
ments, legal frameworks, and news platforms severely underestimate our importance and even choose to invalidate our experiences within Onkwehonweneha and governance
The time has never been more opportune to provide and capture our stories and what's important to us in a way we want to tell them. Onkwehonwe Grassroots journalist should be the direct source for community news
It became apparent that now was the time to flood social media with Grassroots Onkwehonwe platforms and address the lack of understanding between Onkwehonwe as a journalist reporting on actions and events while being present as a community member. We have different social structures and governance that are little understood even after all this time. Yakowennahskats Media was created with the intent to speak these and other truths.
