Wahta Radio The Hawk 98.3 radio station in Wahta is currently closed and under an operational review. The project was funded by the owner of Barrie's Rock 95 and Energy 107.5, Doug Bingley as part of his CRTC licencing requirements. Doug is also helping with radio stations in neighbouring native communities. This commitment includes startup assistance and covering some ongoing operating costs. Stay tuned for further updates.

Maple Syrup Maple syrup has long been part of the Mohawk diet as far back as the early 1700's. Cutting the trees, gathering the sap in bark containers and boiling it until it turned to syrup. It was described as very healing and almost always has a burnt taste. The Maple ceremony in March is devoted to giving thanks to the Creator for this sweet healthy treat. The one day ceremony begins with the Ohenton Kariwate'hkwen and tobacco burning. The Maple sap is passed around, and then the dancing begins. Drinking the sap of the maple tree during the ceremony is believed to have a cleansing effect on the body. In Wahta the dances include the Great Feather Dance, The Woman's Dance and the Food and Pigeon Dance. Afterwards is the closing thanks followed by the meal.
Update - Unfortunately, the current maple bush has been hit by a large infestation of caterpillars several years ago and will require some time for recovery. Please e-mail
