The Kahnawake Mohawk Territory (pronounced [ɡahnaˈwaːɡe] in Mohawk, Kahnawáˀkye in Tuscarora) is a reserve of the traditionally Iroquoian-speaking Mohawk nation on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada, across from Montreal. Recorded by French Canadians in 1719 as a Jesuit mission, it has also been known as Seigneury Sault du St. Louis, Caughnawaga and 17 European spelling variations of the Mohawk Kahnawake.
Kahnawake's territory totals an area of 48.05 square kilometres. Its resident population numbers about 8,000, with a significant number living off the territory. Its land base today is unevenly distributed due to federal Indian Act law that oversees individual land possession, unlike the Canadian norms that apply to the land around it. Kahnawake residents originally spoke their Mohawk language, and some learned French when under French rule. Allied with the British government during the American Revolutionary War and the Lower Canada Rebellion, they have since become mostly English speaking.
A Mohawk reserve reacts to Quebec's plans to ban government workers from wearing items of religious faith. Réponse d'une reserve Mohawk au projet de charte des valeurs québécoises.

Canada's Minister of Indigenous & Northern Affairs visited Kahnawà:ke last Friday. The visit began with a tour of the community, then the Seigneury of Sault St. Louis lands. Discussions centered on the renewal of the relationship between Canada and Kahnawà:ke. We get impressions on how the meeting went from Grand Chief Joseph Tokwiro Norton and the Minister herself, Carolyn Bennett.
Federal Indian Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt announced that he is putting the contentious Bill C-33 First Nations Education Act on hold. This news comes in the wake of the resignation of AFN National Chief Shawn Atleo this past Friday. Valcourt's announcement came while Grand Chief Mike Delisle was meeting with Quebec's newly appointed Native Affairs Minister Geoff Kelley. We asked the Grand Chief to update the community on all of these important issues. Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke: http://www.kahnawake.com

I lie half awake
Late at night
I reach out to touch you
To feel you by my side
And I reach
And I reach
But I never get to feel you
Will I ever get to feel you again?
Again...
Just one more time
One more moment
To take you in my arms
One more chance
One more kiss
Before I wake to find you gone
One more time
Before I have to face another day
And my heart breaks...again
It's only a dream
But it's also real
I don't want it to end
But I know it will
So I pray and I pray
Every night I'm on my knees
Begging for the chance to see you again
Again…
