Chiefs to meet on Kahnawake-Canada Relations on Wednesday

01/15/2013

The Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke (MCK) would like to inform the community that Chiefs Lloyd Phillips and Clinton Phillips will be in Gatineau tomorrow (Wednesday) for a scheduled meeting on Kahnaw�:ke-Canada Relations.

The main agenda items are:
1.    Individual versus Collective Rights
2.    Rights and Benefits as they relate to Membership

�This meeting is not related to the recent events happening across the country,� said Lloyd Phillips. �This is a process that has been on-going since early last year. As we�ve said many times, we believe it�s better to sit and discuss our issues face-to-face in the hope of finding solutions.�

The Kahnawake-Canada Relations process was formalized by a Memorandum of Understanding signed on 16, Enn�ska-February 2012 as a means of addressing the issues of Membership and Lands Management. There are provisions to add other subject matters as deemed necessary.
