I recently had a tour inside the iconic Niagara Mohawk Building - probably Syracuse’s most famous structure. The building opened in 1932 and at that time was headquarters for the Niagara Hudson Power Corporation. It was designed by Syracuse-based architects Melvin L. King and Bley & Lyman of Buffalo. After a series of utility mergers, the company became Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, and later @nationalgrid, which still occupies the building today. #syracusehistory #syracuse #artdeco | Syracu

Thirty years ago today, the Canadian military was brought in to Kahnawake and Kanesatake in an effort to control the Mohawk resistance. All of this over plans to build a golf course on traditional land. In 2015, APTN’s Tom Fennario compiled a five-part oral history of the Mohawk resistance of 1990, known to many as the Oka Crisis. From the archives, here’s Part 2 of “In the Pines.” | APTN National News
