The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke wishes to inform the community that Chief & Council received a petition at last night’s Community Meeting.

The petition, signed by approximately 145 people, demands “that the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake cease all activity regarding evictions…until all Kanien’kehaka can come together to solve this important issue.” Chief and Council will discuss the petition next week.

The issue of Membership was the main topic of discussion at the Community Meeting. The Kahnawà:ke Membership Law is scheduled to be presented for amendment sometime this autumn, using the Community Decision making Process. Exact dates have not yet been announced.
