I just want to add one thing....watch a movie called "spudwrench" and then edit this page according to the 1990 blockade event ...and then theres also a movie called "rocks at whisky trench" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.212.248.46 (talk) 00:10, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Location?
The Kahnawake Mohawk Territory (Kahnawá:ke) is an Indian reserve on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada, across from Montreal. It has also been known as Fort St. Louis, Caughnawaga and 17 other European variations of Kahnawake. The only clue to the location of Indian Reserve # 14 on 1960s government maps of southern Quebec is its blank cartography. Does anyone have maps demonstrating

"...south shore...", "...Quebec is its blank..."??

Sometimes, maps can explain much.

Is a map worth a thousand genocidal murders??

Thank You.

For historical interest, can anyone indicate the Ontario county name or 1851 census district ?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.252.45.119 (talk) 13:22, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Kanesatake; Kahnawake:
Please, more explanation regarding this relationship? Hopiakuta 04:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Kanesatake and Kahnawake are both Indian/First Nations reserves near the city of Montreal; Kanesatake is located along the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River near the town of Oka; Kahnawake is located along the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River, near the towns of Châteauguay and Saint-Constant. Both are populated by members of the Mohawk nation.  Hope this helps. Are you looking for other types of information? --dragfyre 18:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Gambling operations
Is it still true that the gambling operations located at MIT have not had action taken against them? I drive by the building about ten times a week. A month or so ago, I saw the building surrounded by law enforcement officers. The tribal Peacekeepers were basically holding a perimiter and doing traffic control, while what looked to possibly be plain clothesed SQ or RCMP guys were in and around the building itself. I never heard anything about it in the news though. Anyone know more? - Crockspot 19:54, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

History
Events at Kahnawake have been tied to the larger context of political relations between the Mohawk Nation and Canada through the years - writing about identity and competition for land is just part of the story, and identifying cases of violence through the years without more context does not help much. As it stands, such details have Undue Weight, according to WIKI MOS. We need to work more on this.--Parkwells (talk) 16:17, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Blood Quantum
There is current news coverage about the intent of the community to expel mixed-race couples (Mohawks married to non-Mohawks) See, for example, http://montreal.ctvnews.ca/kahnawake-moves-to-evict-non-natives-1.480398# (from 2010) and http://www.cbc.ca/news/aboriginal/kahnawake-first-nation-attacking-the-human-rights-of-its-citizens-1.2818885 (from 2014).

This is certainly noteworthy, but it wil ltake a far better writer than me to integrate this into this wikipedia entry.

Orthography of the name -- meow!
Ok, for the sake of argument, let's say there are 17 variant spellings of the name in European languages, even though we have no citation for that--something well worth remedying. Still, there is room to recognize that the Mohawk orthography was not standardized until 1993. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohawk_language.) It should further be recognized that the writing system used for all these spellings is European, not Mohawk, and that it is perfectly reasonable to expect that a word may be spelled differently in different languages, and even in the same language, e.g. theater/theatre. And last, but not least--is this point even worth making? Standardized spelling in general is a relatively recent phenomenon; look at the tempest in a teacup over Dolly/Dolley Madison--an issue that is still not quite settled, here in the 21st century.
