Membership Law Community Consultation cancelled, to resume next Thursday, June 6th

05/31/2013

The Kahnaw�:ke Legislative Coordinating Commission (KLCC) wishes to inform Kahnawa�kehr�:non that last evening�s Community Consultation for amendments to the Kahnaw�:ke Membership Law was cancelled due to low attendance.

The next meeting will go on, as scheduled, next Thursday (6, Ohiar�:ha/June) at 6pm at the Karonhian�nhnha School gymnasium.

A proposal/suggestion to consider applicants who have three Mohawk great-grandparents under certain circumstances or with certain considerations will continue to be discussed.

�While there were several people in attendance, we felt that it was very important to respect the group dynamic that had been established throughout the first eight meetings,� said KLCC Coordinator Kahente Horn-Miller. �Simply, there just weren�t sufficient numbers for us to carry on without compromising the process � which those in attendance agreed with. Therefore, we�ll move on to next week�s Consultation and take it from there.�

IMPORTANT: Please note that, in accordance with KLCC procedures, observers will be directed to the observers� tables provided for that purpose.

For more information on this proposal and to gain an understanding of the discussion, please refer to the minutes posted at www.kahnawakemakingdecisions.com.
