Who

Who is behind it

mohawk.txt began in 2024 as a digital marker of the Mohawk Nation’s territory. Version 2 carries the Nation’s land and constitutional acknowledgement, and follows the internet’s own standards for such files.

the publisher#

The Mohawk Nation of Grand River Secretariat, Grand River Territory, Ohsweken. Its Register, at mohawkgrandriver.org, keeps the full acknowledgement, its guide, and “Is it in the Tract?”.

the licence#

© Mohawk’s Printer for Grand River, the Nation’s imprint. The standard, the template and the acknowledgement may be used freely, in full or in part, with credit to the Mohawk Nation of Grand River.

a note on names#

The Mohawk Nation of Grand River is not the Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs at Akwesasne, nor the elected council of Six Nations of the Grand River. mohawk.txt speaks only for the Nation that publishes it.

this website#

Plain HTML, CSS and a little script; no frameworks, no trackers, no cookies. It meets WCAG 2.2 AA, follows the reader’s light or dark setting and reduced motion, and prints cleanly. Its own mohawk.txt is where it should be.

Is it on the Tract?

You, or your business

The Tract is six miles on each side of the Grand River, from its mouth to its head. Stand where you live or work, and press.

Your location is used only when you press. It goes to the Nation’s Register for the answer, and is not kept.

This is guidance. The formal answer is a Tract certificate from the Register, with its Record Code.
