Grand Chief discusses Border Crossing in new podcast

10/06/2016

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) wishes to announce the release of the latest edition of the “Corner Office – Chatting with the Grand Chief” podcast featuring the views of Grand Chief Joseph Tokwiro Norton in regard to the recent (September 30, 2016) meeting with representatives of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).

Specifically, Grand Chief Norton relates his surprise that the CBSA said it bases its dealings with Aboriginal people on a document known as the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. His reaction to that revelation, as well as his plans to address the issues, is the focus of the podcast.

The podcast can be accessed by going to the Corner Office page at www.kahnawake.com/corneroffice .

The podcast is intended to be a reference tool for the community to gain a better understanding to the rationale behind the Grand Chief’s direction, as well as for the media to obtain quotes. All Corner Office podcasts are archived online for future reference.
