The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke wishes to inform the community that the Kahnawa’kehró:non Ratitsénhaienhs will be attending the second and third days of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) Annual General Assembly (AGA) in Montreal today and tomorrow, July 10 and 11.
The three-day session agenda includes regional Caucus meetings, plenary discussions on clean water, policing, and specific claims, as well as resolutions on topics including:
- Health
- Justice
- Indigenous rights
- Lands
- Infrastructure
- Environment
- Education
- Language
“It’s great that we get to hit the ground running and attend the AFN AGA during the first week of the new term. In particular, it’s a golden opportunity to meet with Federal Ministers and begin to apply pressure on some of our political files,” said Ohén:ton Í:rate ne Ratitsénhaienhs Cody Diabo. “This is a great networking opportunity for the Kahnawa’kehró:non Ratitsénhaienhs to learn about what the AFN, as a collective and other communities, individually, are working on.”
The Ratitsénhaienhs will resume their regularly scheduled orientation activities on Friday, July 12, 2024.
