Katsitsionni Fox is a warm, powerful and wise woman filmmaker. What a joy and privilege it was to interview Katsitsionni. Did you know that suffragettes like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony found the inspiration for the suffragette movement from Haudenosaunee women? For over 1,000 years before women had the vote in the United States-1920 for white women and 1965 for women of color- Huaudenosaunee women had equal rights in their tribes, in every aspect, including government. The Haudenosaunee were then and are now, matrilineal. In Katsitsionni's new film, Mohawk Clan Mother Louise Herne tells us, "I'm not a feminist, I'm the law." 

Katsitsionni Fox has been making films since 2003 in the Mohawk Territory of Akwesasne, where she resides. Her most recent film is Without a Whisper Konnón:kwe, the untold story of how Haudenosaunee women influenced the early suffragists in their fight for freedom and equality. Katsitsionni also directed Ohero:kon - Under the Husk a 26-min documentary following the journey of two Mohawk girls as they take part in their traditional passage rites to becoming Mohawk Women. Katsitsionni received the Jane Glassco Award for Emerging Filmmaker at the imagineNATIVE Film Festival in 2016 as well as the Achievement in Documentary Filmmaking Award at LA Skins Fest in 2016. This film received funding from Vision Maker Media and has been broadcast on many PBS stations in 2017. She is currently producing a short - doc series for REMATRIATION - a Native American women's online, multi-media magazine.  It is focused on healing and empowerment of Native women through the sharing of their stories and successes. Katsitsionni teaches at the Salmon River School in upstate New York.

Kitsatsionni has won several awards for Without a Whisper Konnón:kwe this year, including best short documentary at Female Voices Rock, and at the Red Nation Film Festival.
