Communiqué
2024-2027 Ratitsénhaienhs Monthly Report
* There is a significant number of Kahnawa’kehró:non who do not consider the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke to be their governing body. Chief & Council acknowledges this and continues to work towards the creation of a Traditional Government that would represent all Kahnawa’kehró:non. This desire was reaffirmed in 1999 with the MCK’s Declaration to Return to Traditional Government.
Please note that Chief & Council, as a rule, continue to operate on the concept that their decisions must respect the will of the community in general, not just those who are considered “the voting public.”
