Featherhead Tech 08 is a partnership by Jeffrey Arquette and Veronica Thompson.
We operate within Akwesasne that is a First Nation Mohawk Reserve.
Fishing is our life and todays waters do not have the stock anymore. We fish as a right with respect. We spawn out fish and release for what we call is "aquaculture intervention".
Having strong desire with more than 10 years doing this we both returned to college to learn all that they had to offer and graduated with honors.
Established Featherhead Tech 08 while still completing Aquaculture Technician in New Brunswick Canada.
Indigenous Aquaponics is our direction. June 2010 completed a shortcourse at University of Virgin Island.
Today in 2011 we want to provide Aquaponics in Akwesasne. We have some equipment used now but was purchased new by us. Presently we are looking to establish this venture where Indigenous People could benifit everywhere. At home our people are in poor health in part by unsafe and depleating fish in our area and heavy air pollution in the past where farming halted. Today with funding and direction with requirements this venture can provide nothing but good to our area and in places that are less fortunate.

Using aquaponics to provide poly culture. Looking in green direction because the environment is important and our farming is better than rearing of fish alone. Native smoked fish has supported much of our direction here. Value added from seed to our product prepared by us for open market. Cash is good but we will trade.
Sector:
Plant Information: Total Plant Size (Areas sq ft): Small located hatchery in Akwesasne Quebec. Large enough to operate and raise fish. Increasing in size we have 8 acre Island with camps just sitting there waiting. We have grown fish near to the shore and vegetables on land gardens.2011 we combine all the learning and operate Indigenous Aquaculture under Featherhead Tech 08.
Distribution of Employees
Allows land and Island operations by boat transport.
Unique Applications: Growing fish and veggies is poly culture. Indigenous Aquaponics is done with much respect.
Key / Major Clients: Products are for everyone. Services to help others is our future.
Success Stories: Self pride has alowed us to do many years of aquaculture intervention. Stocks have been helped and the future has to be in restocking or just helping like we do. Invasive species add to the many predation so growing the fish for one season will help rebuild as we do. Fish spawning right in our boathouse years after releasing there was a sight and memory that should be built on.
Testimonial: Dan Garrow from Akwesasne Area Management Board has supported us for several pilot projects. They provided our way to attend and complete Aquaponics course in U.V.I. in 2010. The A.A.M.B. works with the goverment of Canada making our learning possible. New Brunswick Community College provided us with certificate in Aquaculture Technician
International Capital Projects: We are interested in establishing our name and operations and services with other Indigenous People in L.A.C.
