[news] Kahnawake Band Council 'Backpedals' on Sale of Mohawk Language to Microsoft

[Resist!ca]

"There was some fast backpedaling on the secretly negotiated agreement between the Canadian government's Indian Affairs band council of Kahnawake and Microsoft of Seattle Washington. Many people attended a meeting that was called on short notice - elders, men, women, young people, even some children. People came from other Mohawk territories such as Akwesasne and Kanehsatake and even from as far away as British Columbia. The two band councillors stated they would not sign this agreement as it stands!"
