Ateronhiatahkon Francis Boots passed peacefully on July 5, 2023. He was a renowned Haudenosaunee teacher, and a Rotiske Chief carrying the title Ayonwaehs for the Kanienkehaka people. His contributions to Indigenous resistance and freedom worldwide date back to the 1960s with the founding of Akwesasne Notes, one of the first 2RT Indigenous newspapers. He later represented the Haudenosaunee at the United Nations to bring Indigenous rights to the international stage. PM42686517
