Ahná:wate

Ahná:wate is the Raquette River, which flows from the lakes and forests of the Adirondack Mountains to the Saint Lawrence. Its waters form part of a network of canoe routes through the uplands, joined to other waterways by short carrying places. Near its mouth lies Ahkwesáhsne, a Mohawk community where French Jesuits established a mission in the 1750s. The river links the wooded interior with the great waterway along which that community grew.
