Mohawk Council of Kanehsatà:ke

The Mohawk Council and people of Kanehsatà:ke would like to offer their most sincere condolences to all family and friends on the recent passing of Mr. Frank Marquis, caretaker at Tioweró:ton for many years.

This position was a great responsibility, which he undertook with dedication, pride, and love of the territory. Patrolling the lakes and surrounding areas to help guard against poachers or polluters was no easy task, and working through the winter isolation could sometimes be a hardship. We could all be reassured that if we got lost or injured, Frank Marquis would act with urgent professionalism to make sure we came home safely.
Frank Marquis will be missed by many.

The legacy he left behind is one of love and care, in those who took his place and who now care for Tioweró:ton with the same love and dedication professionalism that make it a special place for us all.

Rest in peace at the Creator’s house,

All community members are invited to come and enjoy an end of the school year social, to celebrate all of Kanehsata'kehró:non graduates, at 5:30 pm on Friday June 19th at The Gathering Place (93 Ahsennénhson)

Please note: This is a drug and alcohol free event.

The Mohawk Council of Kanehsatà:ke (MCK) and Kanehsatake Perimeter Security (KPS), wish to inform the community that the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) has opened a suspicious death investigation following the discovery of a young man’s body at the former Sulpician school (the Brothers location), on May 29, 2026.

The discovery was reported to KPS, who subsequently notified the SQ and established security around the area. At this time, the body recovered has not yet been identified. An autopsy will therefore be conducted in the coming days to determine the cause of death and assist with identification efforts.

In the coming days, SQ investigators and personnel will be in and around the community, to examine the circumstances surrounding the death. We ask community members to please allow investigators the time and space needed to complete their work. Anyone with information that could assist investigators is invited to please contact the SQ.
More information will be shared as it becomes available. Niá:wen for your cooperation,

The Mohawk Council of Kanehsatà:ke & Kanehsatà:ke Perimeter Security

La découverte a été signalée à KPS, qui a ensuite informé la SQ et établi une zone de sécurité. À ce jour, le corps n’a pas encore été identifié. Une autopsie sera donc réalisée dans les prochains jours afin de déterminer la cause du décès et d’aider aux efforts d’identification.

Dans les prochains jours, les enquêteurs et le personnel de la SQ seront présents dans la communauté pour examiner les circonstances entourant le décès. Nous demandons aux membres de la communauté de leur laisser le temps et l’espace nécessaires pour accomplir leur travail, et encourageons toute personne disposant d’informations pouvant aider les enquêteurs à contacter la SQ.

Une mise à jour sera partagée dès que disponible. Niá:wen pour votre coopération,

COMMUNITY NOTICE | AVIS À LA COMMUNAUTÉ
MTMD study ongoing | Étude du MTMD en cours

Shé:kon,

The Mohawk Council of Kanehsatà:ke (MCK) would like to inform community members that representatives from the Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable (MTMD) have been and will be in the community in the coming days, to conduct traffic and speed monitoring on Route 344.

This is part of an ongoing technical study related to the community’s long-standing request to reduce the speed limit on Route 344, a concern that has been raised consistently over several years due to important safety risks. The MCK has been advocating for this change for a long time. Many community members have also expressed concerns about speeding, pedestrian safety, and traffic conditions on this route, and this study is one of the next steps required in the analysis process.

As part of the data-gathering process, community members may notice equipment and MTMD staff along the road, so we ask for your vigilance and patience so this work gets done without delay.

Le Conseil Mohawk de Kanehsatà:ke (MCK) souhaite informer les membres de la communauté que des représentants du ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable (MTMD) étaient et seront présents dans la communauté au cours des prochains jours pour procéder à des relevés de circulation et de vitesse sur la route 344.

Ce travail fait partie d’une étude technique liée aux demandes répétées de la communauté et du MCK de réduire la limite de vitesse sur la route 344, une préoccupation constante des dernières années. Le MCK demande ce changement depuis longtemps. De nombreux membres de la communauté ont aussi exprimé leurs inquiétudes concernant la vitesse, la sécurité des piétons et les conditions de circulation sur cette route, et cette collecte de données est la prochaine étape nécessaire dans le processus d’analyse.

Dans ce contexte, les membres de la communauté pourront remarquer la présence d’équipement et de personnel du MTMD le long de la route, nous demandons donc de rester vigilants et patients afin que ce travail puisse se faire sans délai.
