Membership Law Hearing resumes tomorrow Tuesday evening
03/21/2016
The Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke (MCK) wishes to advise the community that the Hearing for proposed amendments to the Kahnaw�:ke Membership Law will be held tomorrow (Tuesday) evening at the Golden Age Club. The agenda, as previously announced, is confirmed as follows:
- The Definition of �Great Grand Parent� will be completed
- Section 15 �Application Process/Approved Kahnaw�:ke Residents�
- Section 16 �Entitlements of Kanien�keh�ka of Kahnaw�:ke�
- Relevant/related Definitions will be addressed as they arise
�I will repeat what I said earlier,� said membership Portfolio Chief Kahsennenhawe Sky-Deer, �We are probably right in the middle of the most challenging sections of the law. If people have concerns or ideas, they need to participate. This process is community-led � not MCK-led � so it is of utmost importance that people get involved and not only complain once decisions are already made.�
�The reaction to the results of the last meeting is disappointing in that people knew the agenda in advance,� she continued. �That being said, the problematic wording in the proposed amendment to the Adoption section is not final but, rather, is a reflection of the decision. We will discuss this tomorrow evening.�
Tomorrow�s meeting will begin at 6pm and end at 8:30pm. Copies of the law and the Record of Conclusions of previous meetings are available at www.kahnawakemakingdecisions.com , the Kahnaw�:ke Legislative Commission website.
