Katsitsionni Fox, a teacher and a member of the Akwesasne Women singers performs during the National day Of Action in Akwesasne

The women's musical group formed roughly10 years ago. It now has approximately 13, six of which performed tradition songs during the National Day of Action festivities last week. Fox said the songs, written about peace, are ways for all community members to learn the Mohawk and experience aboriginal culture.

Fox loves to sing. And she sings to keep her culture alive. As one of the founding members of the Women's' Singing Society, Fox singing is her way of supporting the unity of First Nations people across Canada. "It's part of our culture to sing," she said.
