Having been established for about 10 years, the NorthWind Fine Arts Gallery has decided to leave its physical space, where it has been for about five years. However, NorthWind is not closing as much as it is transitioning. “About a month ago we decided to close our physical space because of the pandemic and focus on what the future would bring,” said Lee Ann Sporn, president of the art gallery. “We just wanted to get a fresh start after the pandemic is over.”

In October, the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, which governs the U.S. side of the Akwesasne Mohawk reservation, received a second payment from Volkswagen to reduce air pollutant emissions. The money is part of a settlement agreement from 2016, when the company was sued for violating the Clean Air Act by selling non-compliant vehicles.
Over 50 Native tribes and nations across the country are involved in the settlement, which was created to help combat the effects of air pollution. Green vehicles for Native communities hit hard by decades of pollution
The Akwesasne community has had a history of environmental issues, including the pollution of the St. Lawrence and Grasse Rivers from the former Reynolds Metals and GM plants.
