MCK sends response to Haudenosaunee Chief

07/03/2013

The Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke (MCK) wishes to inform Kahnawa�kehr�:non that Chief & Council have sent a response to Chief Sid Hill (Tadodaho), who had sent letters to several Iroquois communities. The MCK received its copy of the letter on 21, Onerahtohk�:wa/May.

Chief Hill�s letter, which was not specifically addressed to Kahnaw�:ke, contained statements and positions that the MCK felt compelled to respond to.

The response letter clarifies the MCK�s position in several matters and includes a Kahnaw�:ke historical perspective. Additionally, a copy of Kahnaw�:ke�s Vision Statement is attached to illustrate the direction that the community wishes to follow and that the MCK supports.

�We are committed to attempt to find ways to build bridges between our people regardless of what appears to be an exclusionary position directed to us,� said Grand Chief Michael Ahr�hron Delisle, Jr., who signed the letter on behalf of Chief & Council. �We support all our people as we work together to move forward.�

The letter is attached in the PDF.
