Clarification - Grand Chief visit to Deerfield, Massachusetts

09/25/2014

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke would like to clarify certain information released earlier today in regard to Grand Chief Michael Ahríhron Delisle, Jr.’s visit to Deerfield, Massachusetts tomorrow (Friday).

The previous release indicated that representatives of the Kanien’kehá:ka Onkwawén:na Raotitióhkwa (KOR) Cultural Center would be participating in the visit; however, this is not exactly the case.

Ms. Fran Beauvais, a former KOR board member, will be participating in the visit to Deerfield. For clarity, she does not currently have a formal role within the KOR.

A number of students from Deerfield Academy will be visiting Kahnawà:ke in mid-October. The KOR will be participating in an official manner at that time.

The MCK apologizes for the error.
