The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) is pleased to announce the formal appointment of Kyle Jacobs as the new Compliance Officer for the Office of the Kahnawà:ke Kanien’kehá:ka Registry (OKKR), in accordance with the Kahnawà:ke Residency Law (KRL).

This appointment was made official through a Mohawk Council Executive Directive (MCED), following a comprehensive hiring process and orientation period.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve Kahnawà:ke in this important role,” said Jacobs. “Our next step will be launching an education campaign for the community in the coming weeks. We aim to begin accepting complaints by April 2025”.
