Skawennahawi is a 9-year-old Mohawk girl from Ottawa, Ontario. She loves to hang out with her best friend, Eliane, and they do just about everything together from walking Skawennahawi’s dog, Luna, to going to swim team together. At swim team practice, Skawennahawi’s best move is a flip turn! Skawennahawi is an expert chef and along with Eliane she shows us a couple of her favourite recipes, made with some traditional Indigenous ingredients. Corn goes into her favourite Shepherd’s Pie, and into a delicious boiled corn bread which also has kidney beans in it! Skawennahawi uses strawberries, also a traditional food, to make tasty muffins. In her bedroom, Skawennahawi shows us her artwork, her mermaid tail blanket and her dolls, and she explains how she creates movies out of stories she comes up with in her imagination. The movies she makes star her dolls! Skawennahawi also enjoys riding her bike. Science is her favuorite subject in school, so she loves hunting for rocks in the park. Skawennahawi’s special word is "ken’nilohontésha" which is "strawberry" in Mohawk.
