AKWESASNE – On Tsiothóhra/December 14th, the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe’s Human Resources Department made their annual contribution of children’s toys for this year’s Angel Tree.

In advance of their donation, Human Resources staff held their Annual Holiday Breakfast Burrito Sale and raised more than $1,300 to purchase toys and bring joy to lots of children this holiday season. Niawen:kówa (Thank you very much) to the Tribe’s Agriculture Program Manager Wally Ransom for donating Mother Earth Eggs and the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort for donating juice, as well as everyone who purchased a burrito or also donated a children’s gift.
