  Feature: Distinct Peoples: First Nations in Quebec
If French Quebecers can be considered the founders of a homeland with an alleged occupation of 400 years (although they were resoundingly conquered by the British in 1760); then First Nations who have lived in what is know known as Quebec since the Ice Age, have a stronger claim to the homeland.
If French Quebecers can claim to be a "distinct people" entitled to self-determination as distinct from citizens of other Canadian provinces then First Nations in Quebec, with their distinct political, cultural, social organizations, religious beliefs and languages, should be considered "distinct people", and entitled to self-determination.

The Kahnawake Environment Recycling Depot was instituted in 1988 with a view to raising awareness among the people of the Mohawk community to this reality and to safefuard against the unfortunate consequences of a polluted environment.

 Mohawks assert hold on territory - Wednesday 17 June 1998 -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Kahnawake band council warned the federal and Quebec governments yesterday it will immediately assert its sovereignty over the South Shore reserve, taking control of highways, railways and waterways, and declaring the community a duty-free zone.
Sparked by changes to Quebec tobacco-tax laws announced last week, the band council yesterday issued a sharp reaction that amounts to a unilateral declaration of sovereignty, and a pledge to back it up by taking complete control of Kahnawake territory.
Highways and other arteries through Kahnawake will remain open today, the source said, but the council will begin "taxing" governments for their use - and if they don't pay, toll booths and other physical barriers will be erected.

 Jan 21/98: Oaxaca-Kahnawake trade convention deferred
(Kahnawake and Oaxaca and Mexico City) - Grand Chief Joe Norton of the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake and representatives of the Indian Nations of Oaxaca, announce today that a formal inter-Indigenous Trade and Commerce Convention and related business agreements will not be signed today in Mexico City as originally planned.
Grand Chief Norton notes that the December massacre of 45 Indian men, women and children in Acteal in the state of Chiapas has led the Kahnawake and Oaxaca leaders to strengthen their commitment to the trade Convention and push hard for both Mexico and Canada to support the work of the Commission.
Yet on the other hand we are told the signing will be deferred to February and a delegate representing the Mohawks of Kahnawake has been travelling with the Trade Mission to Mexico from its onset.
