Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs

The Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs (MNCC) is the traditional government of the Mohawk people.  The Haudenosaunee Confederacy recognizes and sanctions the Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs as the official government of the Mohawk or Kahniakehake (People of the Flint).   The fire or capital of the Mohawk Nation rests at Ahkwesahsne (also known as the St. Regis Indian Reservation).
