Language story (Continued from page 4) in destroying." First year Mohawk language student Artie Martin told the Two Row Times, "It's not just our program, all programs that teach languages are in need of funding: the Onondagas need help, the Cayugas, Everlasting Tree School, Kawenniyo, LL. Thomas, Polytech etc. Funding for all our language initiatives/programs has been declining ever since the Conservatives held the majority. When it comes to funding, reserves get basic funds: basic emergency services, basic education, basic everything. To them, they (the government) are upholding their fiduciary responsibility by giving us just enough, and then we fight over it." Ken Montour also spoke of his discontent for funding cutbacks in language programs, "I come from the school of thought that if people want to learn, they should be given that opportunity. No one gets turned away. It saddens me that people may be denied the opportunity to learn the language next year."
