Pauline Lahache lives and works in Kahnawake. She is an artist with a deep commitment to passing along Mohawk values and culture, and has taught at Kahnawake Survival School for around twenty years. Her artistic outlook is strongly coloured by her attachment to the traditions and teachings of the Ancient ones. Her work passes their knowledge down, with sincerity and vigour that have only grown stronger over the years. For her own community and for us all, Pauline Lahache is a person playing an essential role in developing and protecting a living culture that believes in its own future.
