The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke would like to inform the community that the Council of Elders Operational Review, as prepared and presented by Organizational Development Services of Kahnawà:ke, is now available to read by clicking here.

Printed copies are also available at the Social Development Unit located at the Services Complex.

The Review was commissioned by the MCK’s Social Development Unit last fall. It was presented to the community on 2, Ohiarí:ha/June and formally presented to Chief & Council yesterday (9, Ohiarí:ha/June).

The 86-page document took about five months to compile.

While the Review presents an operational review of the Council of Elders, it also includes a list of six main recommendations with the intent to improve the function of the Council of Elders with the Kahnawà:ke Membership Law.

The activities of the Council of Elders were suspended by mutual consent of the MCK and Elders in September 2007.
