MCK states it support for Kanesatake re: current land dispute

01/25/2010

The Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke (MCK) wishes to inform Kahnawa�kehr�:non that Chief & Council are strongly supporting our sister community of Kanesatake in the matter of its current land dispute. The MCK is urging the Canadian government to immediately appoint a negotiator in order to resolve the matter with the Mohawk Council of Kanesatake.

A letter is being drafted to this effect.

As well, Kahnawa�kehr�:non are reminded that the current measures being undertaken on-site are being conducted in a peaceful manner and that any support from our community must reflect this.

�The land in question is right across the street from the Pines,� said Grand Chief Michael Ahr�hrhon Delisle, Jr. �There is no excuse for any level of government � whether municipal, provincial or federal � to be ignorant of the sensitivities involved in this matter.�
