Retrospective entry under Rule 11 of the Rules of the Register. Original directive code: SG0101-241109-010001. Date of registration: 3 April 2026.
That the Secretariat of the Mohawk Nation of Grand River hereby enters in the Register the compound directive establishing the Assertion of Sovereignty and the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations and Mohawk Agencies and Appointments (MAA), issued by the Secretary-General on 9 November 2024 as a single compound instrument covering three related subjects.
I. ASSERTION OF SOVEREIGNTY AND DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
The directive formally asserted the sovereignty of the Mohawk Nation of Grand River and initiated the institutional framework for establishing diplomatic relations with external governments and bodies. It established: the constitutional and legal foundation for the Nation’s international standing; the mandate to seek diplomatic recognition; the creation of a Sovereign Diplomatic Fund for diplomatic and social initiatives; and the implementation steps for diplomatic engagement including the embassy establishment framework.
II. ESTABLISHMENT OF MOHAWK AGENCIES AND APPOINTMENTS (MAA)
The directive simultaneously established the framework for constituting Mohawk agencies and making appointments within the Secretariat’s governance structure. This includes the appointment mechanisms for key offices and the establishment of designated bodies to administer the Nation’s identification, registry, and institutional programs.
III. MNDRSI AND MNFUND
The directive also constituted the Mohawk Nation Diplomatic and Recognition Sovereignty Instrument (MNDRSI), now formally entered as the Notice of Sovereign Immunity (GZT001-050300-000002 [placeholder — instrument to be identified]), and the Mohawk Nation Diplomatic Fund (MNFUND), now formally entered as the Diplomatic Fund Establishment (GZT001-050300-000002 [placeholder — instrument to be identified]). This retrospective entry enters the originating directive that preceded both those Register entries.
