From the Standard Freeholder -- The Mohawk language is making its mark on country music.
Margaret Peters, a language curriculum specialist with the Ahkwesahsne Mohawk Board of Education, has taken her efforts to keep the Mohawk language alive to another level by directing her students through the process of creating a music video.
The choice of song, "Jackson" by Johnny and June Carter-Cash, was inspired by Teddy Peters', Margaret's husband, and his hobby of translating country songs into Mohawk.
