Mission and programs · 2024

• Ratiwennahawi University Curriculum: Ratiwennahawi successfully advanced its mission to promote cultural understanding through the development and delivery of the Ratiwennahawi University Curriculum, an academic and professional-training program grounded in the writings and leadership principles of Akwesasne Mohawk leader Mike Mitchell. The course provides structured education on Indigenous history, culture, and contemporary issues, fostering improved relationships between Native and non-Native communities. During the filing year, the curriculum was reviewed and vetted by multiple governmental bodies?including the New York State Police and U.S. Customs and Border Protection?and is being evaluated for adoption as a mandatory sensitivity-training program for frontline staff. Ratiwennahawi also expanded institutional access, preparing the curriculum for implementation within universities, colleges, learning centers, 501(c)(3) organizations, and professional workplaces nationwide.

• Food and Clothing Distribution Program (in partnership with CityServe) Ratiwennahawi significantly expanded its humanitarian support to Indigenous communities across North America through its food and clothing distribution initiatives. In partnership with CityServe, the charitable distribution arm associated with Amazon, the organization delivered hundreds of thousands of dollars (fair market value) in essential goods to at-risk youth, elders, and families in remote and underserved communities. The program provided household necessities, clothing, tools, and other critical resources, improving quality of life and alleviating hardship for beneficiaries in both the United States and Canada. By coordinating logistics, transportation, and community-level outreach, Ratiwennahawi strengthened its ability to meet urgent needs and demonstrated strong operational alignment with government agencies and local community leadership.

• Lacrosse Leadership Initiative: Ratiwennahawi advanced its culturally significant Lacrosse Leadership program, which utilizes the sacred Indigenous game of lacrosse to educate youth and adults about its origins, spiritual meaning, and role in developing leadership among young men. The organization expanded its partnerships with USA Lacrosse and Lacrosse Canada to deliver programming that emphasizes character development, teamwork, discipline, and cultural pride. Through clinics, workshops, and community presentations, Ratiwennahawi engaged youth from multiple Indigenous nations as well as non-Native students, contributing to greater national understanding of lacrosse as a traditional Haudenosaunee game and strengthening cultural bridges across North America. This initiative continues to position the organization as a respected cultural educator working collaboratively with sports bodies, schools, and governmental partners.
