The following is a statement issued to the community by Ratsénhaienhs Harry Rice.

Greetings Kahnawa’kehró:non,

I would like to address the Community regarding the Kahnawake Mohawk Peacekeepers recently fining Community members for an outdoor gathering at a private home. I was one of those fined and would like to express my sincerest apologies to the Community, my family, friends, the Task Force and the Council Table. As a member of the Kahnawà:ke Covid-19 Task Force and an elected Ratsénhaienhs, I am owning my actions and in order to maintain the integrity of the Task Force, I have stepped down from the Task Force and the Community Protection portfolio, effective immediately.

Niawenhkó:wa,

Chief Harry Angus Skahionhati Rice
