The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) is pleased to announce that Paul Sohenrise Nicholas has joined the Office of the Council of Chiefs (OCC) as a project leader. He began work on Monday, 15 Kenténha/October.

Mr. Nicholas served as Grand Chief of Kanehsatá:ke from 2008-2011. Previously, he had held the position of Kanehsatá:ke’s Director of Economic Development. He had also served as the Branch Manager of the Bank of Montreal’s Akwesasne branch. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Concordia University.
