Mohawk Self Insurance (MSI) is a community based workman's compensation program for Mohawks of Kahnawá:ke. It is an alternative to CSST. Offered through the Social Development Unit of the MCK, MSI aims to provide a better quality of life for Mohawks of Kahnawá:ke by ensuring that all entrepreneurs provide proper insurance coverage for their employees in the event of an on-the-job accident resulting in injury. There is no charge to the employee.

In 2007, an extensive promotional campaign was launched within local media, providing information about the benefits of MSI. The campaign featured local Kahnawakehró:non actors who performed skit-based commercials and advertisements about the benefits of MSI.

You can view the promotional print materials from the menu on the right or below for video. To find out more information or for an accurate cost of premiums, contact the MSI Coordinator at the Social Development Unit.
