The Mohawk Story of Creation | Lee Claremont | TEDxPenticton

Lee uses a palate of vivid colours in her distinctive style which has earned her international acclaim. Her canvases show the way forward for contemporary Indigenous artists.
Lee narrates the Mohawk Story of Creation while a montage of her art work intertwines.
Lee Claremont is Mohawk and Irish and was born in Woodstock, Ontario on the territory of the Grand River Six Nations Ontario. Lee received her BFA (Honors) from the University of British Columbia and now resides in the beautiful Okanagan Valley in BC. She is well known for her incredible use of colour and her very distinct and recognizable palette is a rainbow that showers us with a positive sense of emotional energy and healing.

Nice pictures but I can not hear anything. I was really hoping to learn more about my heritage. Can you please upload a new version with working audio. I know so little about my heritage it would be nice to learn more.

STORY OF CREATION BUT THEY FORGOT TO CREATE ... "THE SOUND"

[@skeepodoop5197]

Where sound?

[@alexaholmes9479]

Can anyone post the audio? Have to watch this for a class & cannot make out anything, even with my ear to the speaker.

[@susanarodriguez-huerta6037]

It is interesting that they knew the moon controls the waves in the oceans...

[@quintinnelson9364]

oh my god my ears are broken someone please help I can't hear anything!

[@EmilyKresl]

The sound is impossible to understand

[@tdhawk167]

Oh, no. The volume seems to be off on her mic. The music came thru loud and clear, but her speaking is very very low and garbled, can not be made out 😕

TED HAS BEEN COMPROMISED

[@oali9506]

I wore headphones and it was okay

[@TheLollermelon]

Why can't I hear anything

[@nobunnyspecial]

You'd think it would have captions for how awful the audio is...

[@hankkuya4354]

Good news & Bad news is what I was my teaching in childhood before the dismantling of the great pine trees.

[@le_funk98]

There is no sound in this video

[@jorahkai]

i'm half deaf and can hear the audio fine, not sure what all the comments are about

[@cattonymous]

Maybe if you opened your hearts you'd learn that the Mohawks had no language that any one could understand.

[@grantrozwalka7405]

Nice story, terrible quality. If you are a teacher, never give this for your students. IT IS UNBEARABLE to study from this video.
