The Mohawk Council of Kahnawá:ke wishes to inform the community that the organization strongly supports the actions taken by the Kahnawake Peacekeepers earlier today. The Peacekeepers led a multi-jurisdictional police operation this morning aimed at dismantling an international criminal organization dealing in illicit drugs and money laundering.

Several Kahnawa’kehró:non were arrested.

“The Mohawk Council of Kahnawá:ke fully supports this Peacekeeper-led initiative,” said Grand Chief Mike Ahríhrhon Delisle Jr. “We are pleased that it appears to have been very successful and, additionally, took place without incident or injury.

The Grand Chief went on to say, “We do not - and will not - support such illegal activity within the Territory. Anyone who chooses to take part in such activities should take warning.”
