Notice regarding �Mohawk Power Draw�

01/15/2010

The Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke (MCK) wishes to inform the community that it has hand-delivered a letter to Mr. Peter Ilias, the promoter of the �Mohawk Power Draw,� directing him to immediately stop all activities related to this raffle/draw.

Mr. Ilias has also been directed to refund all monies received in relation to this raffle/draw to persons who purchased such tickets.

This letter is a follow-up to notices sent out before Christmas by the Kahnaw�:ke Gaming Commission and the MCK.

The letter states, as follows,

�We trust that the directives of the Kahnaw�:ke Gaming Commission shall be carried out promptly. The MCK requests proof that participants have been refunded with seven days and that all �Mohawk Power Draw� related activities have ceased. If you refuse to follow these directives, the Kahnaw�:ke Peacekeepers will be asked to intervene immediately and your presence will no longer be tolerated in the Mohawk Territory of Kahnaw�:ke.�

The MCK and the Kahnaw�:ke Gaming Commission have very strong reasons to believe that Mr. Ilias has criminal convictions, including an indictable offence of fraud.

Gaming and gaming-related activities within the Territory, except as specifically permitted by the Kahnaw�:ke Gaming Law, are prohibited under section 31.1.
