**Ka’nahsohon Kevin Deer in partnership with Peace Days “How do we interpret
the prophetic messages specific to Turtle Island (North America?)”**
Kanahsohon Kevin Deer is from Kahnawake Mohawk Territory. For the last 30
years he has been involved in Mohawk language retention and revitalization. He
is also a Faithkeeper at the Mohawk Trail Longhouse which involves knowing
sacred songs, dances and rituals. He enjoys discussing and presenting the
Iroquoian world views, history and philosophy. Among many other leadership
roles, he was involved in the Kahnawake Police Commission from 2005 to 2015.
In 1990 he was involved in the Oka Crisis using the power of peace to try to
resolve that conflict. More recently, in February 2016, he made a presentation
on Native spirituality at the United Nations World Interfaith Harmony Week in
New York, and in August 2016 he did a welcoming and healing ceremony for the
World Forum on Theology and Liberation in Montreal. Kevin Deer generously
consulted with Temple in the creation of our land acknowledgment and led the
ceremony in which it was inaugurated.
