Today, the Tribe administers more than 180 state and federal-funded programs that provide essential programs and services to the Akwesasne community.

The Tribe and its two gaming operations--Akwesasne Mohawk Casino and Mohawk Bingo Palace--directly employ nearly 1,200 Natives and non-Natives, making it one of the largest employers in Northern New York State. It's 116 tribally registered business employ hundreds more and licensed enterprises provide vital revenue that supports health and senior services, Boys & Girls Club, fire and police departments, and a host of other community programs.
