Instatement, Reinstatement on agenda for tomorrow�s (Tuesday) Membership Law hearing
02/22/2016
The Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke (MCK) is reminding Kahnawa�kehr�:non that the agenda is set for tomorrow (Tuesday) evening�s Hearing into proposed amendments to the Kahnaw�:ke Membership Law. The agenda is as follows:
- The definition of �Kanien�keh�ka Great Grandparent� � specifically its reference to �Kanien�keh�ka lineage� � will be revisited, as there was concern that the term ��has Kanien�keh�ka lineage� is too vague and may be open to interpretation.
- Section 13: Instatement and Reinstatement (formerly section 10.3, now moves to this section)
- Section 14: Adopted Children. Major redraft of this section, with topic of adopted children being treated in a similar manner to other First Nations/Onkwehonwe children
- Relevant/related Definitions (Section 4) will be addressed as they arise
�The discussion and deliberations have been very effective,� said Chief Arlene Jacobs, who holds the membership Portfolio with Chief Kahsennenhawe Sky-Deer. �We�re hoping that the decision to have meetings every two weeks will keep the momentum going in order to complete this part of the amendment process.�
Tomorrow�s meeting is the eight in the First Hearing phase of the Community Decision Making Process. It will take place from 6pm to 8:30pm at the Golden Age Club.
