MCK Responds to Federal Debate

Ohén:ton Í:rate ne Ratitsénhaienhs Cody Diabo on behalf of the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke addresses the lack of Onkwehón:we inclusion and recognition in recent federal election debates, criticizing political leaders for ignoring unresolved land grievances. The contradiction of campaign promises to sell federal lands while a significant land debt to the Kahnawà:ke community—such as the long-standing Seigneury of Sault St. Louis claim—remains unsettled. He urges candidates to engage directly with Indigenous communities rather than advocacy groups and announces the #StillOurs campaign to raise awareness in surrounding communities that they are on unceded Kanawà:ke Territory.
