The Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke wishes to invite Kahnawa�kehr�:non to online discussions on the Kahnaw�:ke Residency Law, which is currently in the pre-implementation phase.

There will be two (2) sessions planned for this Thursday, July 9, 2020. The first will take place at 11am, with the second scheduled for 7pm.

�This is an extremely important but complex law, so it�s crucial that the community has the opportunity to get as much education and accurate information as possible,� said Iets�nhaienhs Kahsennenhawe Sky-Deer, who is the Lead on the file. �With the pandemic still underway, we felt that conducting these sessions online would be the responsible thing to do.�

Topics of discussion will include:

• Overview of the separation between membership and residency
• Explanations of various categorizations and permits
• How the application process will work
• Open question & answer period
