Membership Law Hearing tomorrow (Tuesday), reminder of changes to agenda

9/12/2016

The Kahnawà:ke Legislative Coordinating Commission (KLCC) would like to remind the community that the next Hearing on proposed amendments to the Kahnawà:ke Membership Law is scheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday) evening.

Revisions to the agenda were requested by the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) Membership Department, the proponents of the proposed amendments, along with the MCK Membership Portfolio Chiefs. The proponents feel that all discussion revolving around ‘Approved Kahnawà:ke Residents’ would be more appropriately addressed in the Community Decision Making Process for a residency law – which has already been proposed.

The revised agenda is as follows:
• Sec. 16, Entitlements of the Kanien’kehá:ka of Kahnawà:ke
• Sec. 18, Responsibilities of Kanien’kehá:ka of Kahnawà:ke
• Sec. 20.1, Kanien’kehá:ka of Kahnawà:ke Pledge and Oath of Respect
• Any relevant/related Definitions

The Hearing, which will be the 15th meeting in this First Hearing phase of the Community Decision Making Process, will take place on Tuesday, 13 Seskehkó:wa/ September 2016 from 6pm to 8:30pm at the Golden Age Club. Relevant documents can be viewed at www.kahnawakemakingdecisions.com, the KLCC website.
