That the Secretariat of the Mohawk Nation of Grand River hereby enters in the Register the directive establishing the Mohawk National Transportation and Safety Initiative (MNTSI), issued by the Secretary-General on 1 November 2024, as the master administrative framework governing transportation regulation and safety oversight within the Grand River Territory.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The MNTSI directive established an independent, sovereign driver program under Mohawk governance, applying to all registered Mohawk drivers operating within the six-mile boundary of the Grand River Territory. The initiative is grounded in the Haldimand Pledge (1779) and the Haldimand Proclamation (1784) and operates under the Nation’s governing authority over transportation and safety within its Territory.
The directive established: the regulatory framework for Mohawk drivers within the Territory; the integration of NVR registration, GRNDIP insurance, and MNDIC driver identification as a suite; the safety standards applicable within the Territory; and the governance and enforcement structure for transportation matters.
NOTICE TO EXTERNAL AUTHORITIES
Notice of MNTSI was provided to the Ministry of Finance regarding MNTSI’s regulatory independence from the provincial transportation system within the Territory.
