How to stop tobacco smuggling among the Mohawks: By Doug George-Kanentiio
New From Indian Country
Twenty years ago the Mohawk Nation Council at Akwesasne appointed a committee to investigate how to resolve the tobacco smuggling which was becoming a serious issue on my home community. A small group of Mohawks had elected to use our unique geographical position astride the international border to transport unregulated tobacco across the St. Lawrence River and were prepared to protect this lucrative activity with whatever means at their disposal. The Nation Council was concerned that this activity was certain to attract the attention of organized crime in the U.S. and Canada and would certainly lead to violence and clashes with the Canadian and American law enforcement agencies. |
