Letter of Complaint against two Chiefs officially received

03/24/2015

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke wishes to advise the community that a Letter of Complaint against Council Chiefs Gina Deer and Christine Zachary-Deom has been officially received and will now follow the processes outlined in the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke Disciplinary Measures Regulations.

The complaint, made by community member Darlene Alfred, alleges breach of trust in regard to the Chiefs’ positions on the issue of evictions of non-Natives residing on the Territory in contravention of the Kahnawà:ke Membership Law.

This is substantially the same complaint that was read into the public record at the 10, Enniskó:wa/ March 2015 Winter Community Meeting. It was presented to Chief & Council unsigned at that time but has since been signed by Ms. Alfred.

The letter is demanding the immediate suspension of the Chiefs in question.

Please be assured that the community will continue to be informed on this issue.
