Border Crossing

Tsi Tkaristì:seronThe Mohawk Council of Kahnawá:ke is part of the Iroquois Caucus, made up of different Elected governments throughout the Confederacy. One of the Iroquois Caucus' priorities is addressing the enactment of the recent Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) with the creation of a new Border Crossing Identification card for all Confederacy members.

The first of two stages of the WHTI was implemented in participating countries (United States, Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Carribean Region) in January of 2007. The premiere stage of the WHTI restricts air travelers from crossing the border without a valid passport from their country of origin. The second stage will see this initiative enacted for all land and sea port crossings.

The intent of this page is to keep you up-to-date on the progress of the issues surrounding border crossing. The other intent is to create a forum for those who have had trouble crossing the border.

Below is a submission form for those who wish to record their border crossing incident. On the menu to the right are recorded incidents of community members who have had trouble crossing the border.
