The current St. Regis
Mohawk Tribal Court has been adjudicating traffic offenses and civil offenses
since December 2000. These offenses are punishable within the context that
by nature are civil penalties, not criminal. The judicial caseload is primarily
traffic offenses and civil offenses that affect the peace, well being and
safety of the Akwesasne community
The St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Court is developing a judicial system that
will incorporate traditional cultural values of the Akwesasneronon community.
The mission is to develop a judicial system supported and created by the
community, based on the needs of this community. The long-term goal is to
implement further expansion of a native judicial system that works not only
for this community, but allows the judicial system to work along side of
and collaboratively with outside agencies of law enforcement and judicial
system.
