There was just one spot where thousands of fans of wrestling, horror, comics, trading cards, Indigenous art, retro games, and toys wanted to be over the weekend, and that was at the Mohawk Super Bingo for the latest K-Town Collectables Expo.

When he’s not filming content for his social media feed - whether it be comedic reviews of restaurants in or around Kahnawake or marketing for his game Kanata: The First Sacrament, Iorahkwano Gabriel works for Kahnawake Animal Protection while training to become a Kahnawake Peacekeeper.

Going into the last weekend of the regular season, the Kahnawake Junior B Hunters can finish no lower than seventh in the Ontario Junior B Lacrosse League (OJBLL) East division standings, meaning they will get a chance to defend their league title and qualify for the Founders Cup.

Although only team owner Derek Stacey was able to attend the 2026 North American Indigenous Athletics Hall of Fame (NAIAHF) induction ceremony in person in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Kahnawake Junior B Hunters players still received a memento of their induction.

A little more than a year ago, Kingston Delisle wasn’t sure he wanted to keep playing hockey after a difficult year on and off the ice at Bishop Kearney High School in Rochester, New York.

Inter Species Wrestling (ISW) made its return to Kahnawake as part of the K-Town Collectables Expo - and ultimately, some of the collectables made their way into the matches, too.

At the daphne art centre in Tiohtià:ke on Friday, those in the room and watching the live stream heard the judges from the Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal read out their verdict: the government of Canada has committed and continues to commit genocide against Indigenous Peoples.

An accident at Matty’s Park Monday night has put the focus once more on ATV usage in Kahnawake - particularly by those operating them that are younger than the official minimum age of 16.

While the work done on the Mercier Bridge over the weekend may have finished almost 12 hours early, it is safe to say the first of a three weekend “blitz” of work did not go smoothly for motorists and Kahnawake residents alike.

While doing the promotional tour for this weekend’s K-Town Collectables Expo at other shows and local games stores, there’s one thing Eric Ravenelle likes to hear more than anything else when giving out flyers: “I don’t need one, I’m already coming, I know about it, and it’s our favourite show to go to.”
