AKWESASNE—In accordance with the Tribal Procedures Act adopted by the tribal referendum on Ohiarí:ha/June 1, 2013, the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe is continuing to take steps to ensure that financial transparency and accountability are provided to the membership. To support this effort, a public meeting will take place at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, Kentenhkó:wa/November 14th, to present the Draft 2025 Annual Tribal Budget to the Tribal membership.
The November 14th presentation will be a hybrid meeting, allowing tribal members to attend in person at the Ionkwakiohkwaró:ron Tribal Administration Building or virtually using Zoom.
Tribal members who want to join virtually must register before 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 13th, by clicking on the following link: https://bit.ly/3QvnPin. The online registration process allows the Tribal Clerk’s Office to verify tribal enrollment, as the budget presentation is intended for membership only.
On the morning of Thursday, Kentenhkó:wa/November 14th, tribal members may access a summary of the Draft 2025 Annual Tribal Budget on the Tribal Member’s Portal. A copy of the budget summary can also be requested at the Ionkwakiohkwaróron Tribal Administration Building’s main reception desk.
Following the November 14th presentation, tribal members will have 15 days to provide comments and concerns, concluding on Friday, November 29th. Comments can be emailed to public.comment@srmt-nsn.gov, as well as can be mailed or delivered to:
Office of the Executive Director
Attn: Draft 2025 Annual Tribal Budget
Ionkwakiohkwaróron Tribal Administration Building
71 Margaret Terrance Memorial Way
Akwesasne, NY 13655
Following receipt of any written comments, the Tribe may hold a second meeting on Tuesday, December 3rd, at 5:00 p.m. to respond to any submitted comments — before its acceptance by Tribal Council Resolution for the coming fiscal year.
