Whether it was canoeing down the Saint Lawrence River, hunting moose up north, catching rats down by the water, or snaring rabbits before school, Patrick and his brothers were always up to something. Patrick moved from Kahnawà:ke down to New Hampshire to ironwork at first, but later found himself working in the telecommunications industry. Patrick eventually came back to Kahnawà:ke to stay. He often talks about what Kahnawà:ke was like growing up, his real-life experiences, and the bond between siblings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/72d37512-c47f-4465-81ee-97e3849b100a/426418160_987960852961114_6609161917439593710_n.jpg https://www.sharing-our-stories.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2024-09-09 https://www.sharing-our-stories.com/donations daily 0.75 2025-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/f0f04660-7241-44bb-8afb-8e57d4506d61/451.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/4ce9a5a7-16fa-45cc-aeb1-b0e66bdbc566/IMG_8427.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/bb9c7098-459b-45a5-88b2-ba05445d1212/IMG_8436.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/75375c7a-3c11-4f2b-a2bd-ef31cbb6e13c/IMG_8435.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/26aa72c0-05a8-4fa6-8dac-939809544fdc/IMG_8431.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/7448f92d-4f9d-431b-bc42-bc2d549a66d2/platinum+cup+%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/db741471-5416-4020-9cef-079ad00d5c51/logo_3.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/c42e065e-d69d-41d5-8786-1caec5937985/centraide.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/00df6536-200c-4d24-a9ee-1b36a3cefb68/42a0b2e7-795d-4b1a-9734-788972d183c3_fgf-logo-EN-colour.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/75640b98-43d1-4a13-961e-147e4bca3393/canada-wordmark.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/a308c21a-eef3-46db-a117-14271264e37c/72.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/8a743718-7dac-4574-b802-b2854733f019/Untitled_Artwork+3.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/39e1181d-6716-4fc4-8e3a-24ffd0f03894/fgm.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/d23b51e5-4d37-4cff-98bb-c4100d7c6c5e/Screenshot+2024-08-26+at+2.18.18%E2%80%AFPM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/8979da47-83ad-44cd-827d-5dca78838a00/NFSB-couleur-carre.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/0c86e49e-2771-46f3-92d5-aeb10a1171be/Untitled_Artwork+2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/3141eb37-abcb-470d-8666-c331d017d14c/Untitled_Artwork+1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/cf76a366-030d-4372-a8cb-3129a4053fe5/Untitled_Artwork.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/695e4510-e4fb-40f6-85a7-dd8bee5d876c/QQwv0KS0-WjwkMA.png https://www.sharing-our-stories.com/newsletter daily 0.75 2024-04-17 https://www.sharing-our-stories.com/audio-interviews daily 0.75 2024-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64a6d893843b155814b72ffc/6dd82593-c145-4546-b083-b5017d53f488/nine+3.jpg https://www.sharing-our-stories.com/dictionary daily 0.75 2025-08-14 https://www.sharing-our-stories.com/dictionary/b monthly 0.5 2025-07-15 https://www.sharing-our-stories.com/dictionary/w monthly 0.5 2025-08-12 https://www.sharing-our-stories.com/dictionary/t monthly 0.5 2025-08-12 https://www.sharing-our-stories.com/dictionary/s monthly 0.5 2025-08-05 https://www.sharing-our-stories.com/dictionary/r monthly 0.5 2025-08-05 https://www.sharing-our-stories.com/dictionary/o monthly 0.5 2025-08-04 https://www.sharing-our-stories.com/dictionary/k monthly 0.5 2025-08-14 https://www.sharing-our-stories.com/dictionary/project-three-ph2n3-3jnbf monthly 0.5 2025-08-14 https://www.sharing-our-stories.com/dictionary/project-two-whgpe-lpjhe monthly 0.5 2025-08-12 https://www.sharing-our-stories.com/dictionary/project-one-h346n-t8jk2 monthly 0.5 2025-08-05 https://www.sharing-our-stories.com/dictionary/project-one-f5w4d-f9wga monthly 0.5 2025-08-14 https://www.sharing-our-stories.com/dictionary/project-one-f5w4d-f9wga-we79x monthly 0.5 2025-07-17
