Written by Paul Graif on 15 February 2022
On Tuesday, The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) and the Six Nations of the Grand River (SNGR) signed a Mutual Cooperation Agreement on Gaming, Both territories are collaboratively committing to: “defend, by any means possible, our Indigenous jurisdiction over gaming, and the socio-economic benefits our communities would derive therein.”
The Agreement facilitates a memorandum of understanding between each community’s regulatory bodies for gaming and creates a space where discussions on potential mutually beneficial commercial opportunities in the gaming industry can occur.
Both communities will begin collaborative work on legal, political and public relation strategies to fortify their respective jurisdictions and interests in the gaming industry. They will also extend opportunities for other Indigenous communities across Turtle Island to join in this collaboration, and will also begin development on a national body of Indigenous gaming regulators.
