LAND USE SURVEY RESULTS 2016 - SYNOPSIS - Kahnawake€¦ · LAND USE SURVEY RESULTS 2016 - SYNOPSIS...

LAND USE SURVEY RESULTS 2016 - SYNOPSIS The following is a synopsis from the MCK Public Relations Unit, regarding the Land Use survey results. Overall, the survey results show very mixed feelings regarding land issues. Based on the results, no one issue is deemed unimportant and it seems as though all land issues are important. When asked to prioritize, the only issue that stood out was future housing development. 200 survey participants had 11 choices to select 5 items to prioritize. Every single item was chosen by over 100 people, again citing that all issues are important. Other aspects of the survey show that this is common – that all land issues are important. There is no doubt Community members want to and need to be involved. The Land Use Planning Project has a Kahnawà:ke Land Use Plan Framework Steering Committee in place to provide insight and guidance to the project coordinator, as needed. Also, focus groups are currently being held in Kahnawà:ke with the aim that the participants will represent a broad cross-section of the community. However, the survey participants agreed that the biggest hurdle will be Community participation and agreement. Of note, over 75% felt that the Community Vision of the future of land use should be a main focus. Of special note, over 75% of those who took the survey were women, which demonstrates that, as caretakers of the land, women had more interest in this survey. Based on the survey results, MCK Public Relations recommended the following to MCK Lands:

Create 10 themes

Run a 30 week educational campaign

Hold special meetings on key issues

Use surveys, focus groups, meetings or workshops to get proper feedback per theme, rather than all at once and not using the same method for all 10

Hold a Lands Conference after 30 weeks, with workshops to validate the results of the feedback

Possibly hold one final Community survey to validate the results of the workshop and/or at least see which areas the Community does agree on.

SURVEY RESULTS SYNOPSIS FROM THE LANDS UNIT Last year the MCK Lands Unit did surveys to gather community feedback on Land Use Planning. The surveys were done from February to early April of 2016. In total, 202 surveys were completed. They were done in-person and over the phone. We didn’t record the identities of the participants. The first question was, “in which of the following areas should there be a Land Use Plan?” The top 2 responses were residential development and preservation of our lands. The survey also asked “Who should be involved in the development of a Land Use Plan?” and the #1 response was community members. so This aligns with the main goal of the project which was to have the framework development be based entirely on community feedback. We asked what people’s biggest land related concerns were, and the top ranked answer was a “Lack of Land”, next was “the contaminated dumpsites on the territory”. After that, it was a three way tie between Deforestation, the Amount of land owned by Individuals, and commercial ventures in residential areas. Most of the participants felt the biggest obstacle to achieving a land use plan is community agreement. The survey also had a few questions about Land Use up in Tioweró:ton. People felt general preservation of the area, the cabin site areas and the hunting areas all need to be included in a Tioweró:ton land use plan The most important land related issues in Tioweró:ton were disrespect to the land, lack of respect in general and disturbing the ecosystems. The survey had some demographic questions and 3 out of 4 survey participants were women. The survey results will be on the MCK Lands Unit webpage if anyone wants to give them a more in-depth look. In October we finished another survey for land use in Tioweró:ton, survey participants for that one were from Kahnawà:ke and Kanesatake. we’ll be releasing those results to the public in the near future.

1 It would be easy to dev a land use plan for unoccupied lands but it is too huge to develop such a plan for thecommunity. It would be a huge challenge. How can we develop a plan for an area that already exists. Town garage isalready in an industrial area.

4/4/2016 11:45 AM

2 Residential can include agricultural. If you want to build a garden (farm), do not have a pig farm right next to aresidence. We need to preserve our land, especially our wetlands.

4/1/2016 11:01 AM

3 To maintain it's natural state. 4/1/2016 10:25 AM

4 Everything but leases and permits. I don't know how that will make up a land use plan. We need future developmenton commercial areas. We also need food security along with recreation and leisure that helps life balance out. Wereally need to preserve what land we have left.

3/31/2016 10:39 AM

5 There should have been more definition as to what territory for particular questions. Not the same answers for bothterritories.

3/30/2016 9:35 AM

6 No one plants any more. 3/29/2016 11:14 AM

7 An area should be set aside for more community gardens and also a dog park. 3/29/2016 10:57 AM

8 For proper use where should we situate buildings. 3/29/2016 9:55 AM

9 No further comment 3/29/2016 9:50 AM

10 we have no rules so anyone can build anything without consulting anyone. The super rich are taking advantage of norules by buying and building anything they want. It's like the wild west!

3/29/2016 9:44 AM

11 They all raise concern and they all tie into each other. We have gas stations that are very close to a residential areathen what if that gas station explodes that will take out a whole area. It could be very hazardous. We have a lot ofareas where this land use plan can apply to.

17 All of the above, however i felt those checked need more attention. There is also a need for developing languageprograms in need of land.

3/23/2016 3:55 PM

18 When there aren't regulations at all there are no recourse it's better for long term planning. 3/23/2016 3:42 PM


20 Do not want a cig factory right new to my home 3/23/2016 11:30 AM

21 Difficult to answer question as it very vague. I believe ALL areas should be looked into however do not wantKahnawake to be another Chateauguay.

3/23/2016 11:15 AM

22 With whatever we have now definately need more land. More land would expand everything. Residential andcommercial development should be separate from everything else.

3/23/2016 10:58 AM

23 Survey needs to be more specific re: term of land use 3/23/2016 10:05 AM

24 Those are the ones that can really destroy the land if we don't take care of them. Regarding health issues and habitatdestruction. We need to protect our lands.

3/21/2016 3:40 PM

25 Use other municipalities as a model 3/21/2016 3:02 PM

26 We desperately needed ZONING (in caps) like ASAP!! Show be factories in residential areas, especially not rightacross from a school

29 Get land back from tunnel to KSS, waterfront property. Why is not ours yet? Need planting grounds like what they didon 207. Non-natives should not own "anything" in kahnawake

3/17/2016 3:09 PM

30 Shorter leases (max of 10 years) or less to negotiation period. 3/17/2016 3:03 PM

31 With whatever land we do have, green spaces should remain untouched. Residential should stay residential with noindustrial development in those areas, should only be built in the outlying areas

3/17/2016 2:43 PM




35 Erecting huge buildings in the center of town should not be allowed, only on outskirts 3/11/2016 2:26 PM

36 Land on 207 across from McSmoke shop should not be used for commercial or industrial use. 3/11/2016 12:05 PM


38 Should be designated areas for industrial development, we do not need factories near homes 3/10/2016 3:06 PM

39 Within the land use plan, there should be specific uses for example residential, agricultural and residential 3/10/2016 3:01 PM


41 A plan would need to be more geared towards commercial development in one area as opposed to scattered all overthe community. Residential in one as well, and so on and so forth.

3/10/2016 9:45 AM

42 All inter-related you can't have 1 or another. 3/7/2016 3:33 PM

43 Leases and permits to who??? 3/7/2016 2:07 PM

44 Never know who we are bringing in if we are leasing our land for business. 3/7/2016 1:37 PM

45 We have to preserve what is left. 3/7/2016 1:14 PM

46 I use to walk in the new development areas and i would see wildlife in the bushes and now that the area is covered inhouses and turned into a residential area i don't see much animals any more.

3/7/2016 11:38 AM

47 We don't have a big land foot print as we would like so i think that zoning would be appropriate. We need some sort oflaw that would allow us to identify some sort of areas so we could make plans for them.

3/7/2016 9:29 AM

48 Perhaps, job wise, people from town would benefit by returning to a job ex: recreation or industrial or housing 3/7/2016 9:06 AM



51 Community members need to be aware of their neighbors and the affects their decisions have on them re: land use.Factories should not be allowed to build factories in residential areas, should be way out of the way. Non-nativesshould not have leased businesses, should be frowned upon.

3/3/2016 2:03 PM




55 No factories in residential areas. 3/2/2016 3:30 PM

56 So many people in town not enough land and there has to be some kind of way to keep track of how we use our land. 3/2/2016 2:00 PM

57 Factories being built in residential areas, build on farms area, should not be allowed 3/2/2016 1:16 PM

58 Community members think they can do what they want, when they want, how they want and so on and so forth 3/1/2016 2:41 PM

59 Include Industrial land users also 3/1/2016 11:37 AM

60 We're far behind on our duties. 3/1/2016 11:36 AM

61 Issues with community members concerning zoning. Factories are the biggest issue 3/1/2016 11:28 AM

62 Hydro poles should be placed in the rear of the residential/commercial lots in order for emergency responders toattend to a "fire" emergency as quickly as possible

63 Would like to see a community garden for agriculture (monitored by possibly Environment Office). Building of hugestructures in the center of Kahnawake should not be allowed, should be a designed area for Industrial

3/1/2016 11:06 AM


65 Ensure community buy in 3/1/2016 10:57 AM

66 Land use for people that are responsible need to understand the political and commercial direction of Land use.Moving from the Indian Act to traditional land holding ex: Community should declare all lands under our authority andall present licenses and permits held by non-natives interests declared illegal.

3/1/2016 10:50 AM


68 Commercial development along with new lands that are given back to Kahnawake, first priority over all others. Otherswill come over time

3/1/2016 9:41 AM

69 The chosen are need at this time. Go back to our old ways, we lost that, need to start using our medicines and withthat comes the maintenance and taking care of our lands. Medicine walks, traditional uses, that's what it's there for

3/1/2016 9:32 AM


71 We should start farming on the island or else that will just go to waste. Island needs more grass or a park on it. 2/29/2016 3:52 PM

2/29/2016 11:20 AM




90 Suggestion: we should start building vertically. There's limited space left we need to make smart decisions on what willwe be doing with our land and what are the long term effects.

2/29/2016 9:46 AM

91 no further comments 2/29/2016 9:35 AM

92 Everything listed needs a plan, some community members can be to greedy and just do what they want, when theywant and how they want.

2/29/2016 9:24 AM

93 Keep up the unique prospectives of Kahnawake, we do not want the federal government interfering in anyway shapeor form.

97 Agriculture is a big one for me. Humans are great at building at the destruction of everything else. Also if we couldhave land for families it would create space to learn about growing our own food and create jobs in tough economicand environmental times, being able to produce food is an asset to kahnawake.

2/26/2016 1:44 PM

98 Concerns with factories being built in residential areas, protection of land 2/26/2016 1:33 PM

99 Sometimes our community suffers because there's no rules and regulations for certain things. 2/25/2016 3:37 PM

100 Cultural land uses - 3 sisters garden has a lot to do with us harvest and ceremonies.Agriculture has a lot ofonkwehonwe values we need to go back organic instead of Tim Hortons or McDonalds.

2/25/2016 3:14 PM

101 There should be plans made for the use of the land that was taken by the seaway ex. Commercial use andRecreation.

2/25/2016 2:22 PM


103 All areas should be concentrated on because this is all the land we have left. 2/25/2016 9:26 AM

104 We don't need commercial development, we need to be more self sufficient and we also need land for homesbecause we don't have much left.

2/24/2016 3:44 PM

105 We need more places for people to live, I think residential, agriculture and cultural uses to the land are the 3 mainthings we have to focus on for the future. We need to start growing our own food and everything that goes with it likecanning and saving our seeds and then regrowing our food. We need more community cultural events.We need moreland to hunt.

2/24/2016 3:17 PM

106 Concerns re: commerical development next to residential areas; areas should be in designed areas only. 2/24/2016 11:42 AM

107 We have no land I think they put aside to much commercial use Example MIT we barely get anything from there butyet it is on our land.

2/24/2016 8:59 AM

108 Well there's something missing in all areas, we are lacking in every area and we still have to protect. 2/24/2016 8:47 AM

109 I'm a traditional person and I hold all these areas closely to my heart. 2/22/2016 11:52 AM

110 To make it fair we need to ensure all these areas are taken care of especially environmentally. 2/22/2016 11:20 AM

111 All of the above really 2/18/2016 3:37 PM

112 There needs to be more things for kids more parks and also more land for the gardens. 2/18/2016 2:29 PM

113 More knowledge for teaching the youth about agriculture and we need more places to live. 2/18/2016 11:15 AM

114 We can't just put all our eggs in one basket. We should put more roads in so we can reach the land that arelandlocked.

2/18/2016 11:07 AM

115 There will be benefits for all of them. 2/18/2016 10:59 AM

116 More land to build a house 2/18/2016 10:41 AM

117 Lands wasted on 207, could be residential, why do people have to be greedy 2/18/2016 10:36 AM

118 There's minimal land left, so anything built on this land will take up more land. We need to preserve what land wehave left and cutting down all the trees isn't helping.

2/18/2016 10:33 AM

119 We need to use the land smartly, as long as it isn't being used in a negative way that it will effect us badly. 2/18/2016 10:18 AM

120 We need a plan for everything. 2/18/2016 10:08 AM

121 We need more housing. There's not a lot of cultural events going on and not a lot of recreational health and trails. 2/18/2016 9:56 AM

122 Use the land wisely in surrounding areas, we dont need contaminated bio hazard waste here and mess up our land. 2/18/2016 9:39 AM

123 I would like to see the lands be used wisely cultural wise, we should have a one year program with cultural learning. 2/17/2016 11:26 AM

124 We need gardens to live off the land and be self sufficient. We need to keep the land clean and intact. We need lesscommercial and more cultural use of lands.

2/17/2016 11:18 AM

125 It's important to have a land use plan for residential and cultural use. 2/17/2016 11:06 AM

126 It seems like there's more people so they can live on the territory and pass the land down to the next generations. Sothey can grow gardens have a agricultural source for themselves and other to share.

2/17/2016 10:45 AM

127 I think it lacks in all areas, there's to much commercial development going on. We could do without commercialdevelopment.

2/17/2016 9:50 AM

128 We need places to live and i don't want any big businesses in this area. We need places to plant. I just wouldn't wantindustrial in Kahnawake.

1 We should include experts in fields of land use or first nations that have developed their own plan. They have thesame populations, so they could use their own as a model.

4/4/2016 11:45 AM

2 We need an elected or chosen committee from all stakeholders (board members) 4/1/2016 11:01 AM

3 It's encompasses everyone 4/1/2016 10:25 AM

4 Everyone! If the individuals in MCK want to be involved they could because they are a community member to and Ithink we could make a really good plan if we all work together.

17 Involving everyone. Would be way better to involve everyone because we all have different plans. To put our plans outthere so we know if it affects other people or not.

3/23/2016 3:42 PM

18 Maybe not so much of the MCK. 3/23/2016 2:35 PM



21 Believe community members voices must heard, not just committees deciding on what has to be decided. 3/23/2016 11:15 AM

22 Every single community member should have and has an opinion. 3/23/2016 10:58 AM

23 But Lands unit should definately be the lead 3/23/2016 10:05 AM

24 These options seem like they're more fir the environment office to take care of. The bottom options like the businesspeople and Mohawk Council would probably clash with the others.

3/21/2016 3:40 PM

25 Include office from environment canada, they would have a good hand in it as well. 3/21/2016 3:02 PM


27 MCK should not dictate the outcome 3/18/2016 1:35 PM


29 Land belongs to the woman, primary caregivers like ancient times. Start with them and Lands will deal with results 3/17/2016 3:09 PM

30 An ajoint work group table would be nice to see but it would not go anywhere. Plan should be done by an elected body(an appointed body).

3/10/2016 9:55 AM

41 Community members wear different hats and have a wide range of opinions, we need this in order to proceed into thefuture. So everyone who comes to the table has a different hat with different ideas

3/10/2016 9:45 AM

42 The whole community should get involved. 3/7/2016 3:33 PM

43 As difficult as it maybe - it's important to have as many factions involved. However, all need to be aware of the needsof the community. Both socially and financially.

3/7/2016 3:10 PM

44 combination of everyone. 3/7/2016 2:57 PM

45 Not excluding traditional people in general. Aren't they community members. Why special category. Same for M.C.K. 3/7/2016 2:07 PM

48 A group that wants to take care of our land. 3/7/2016 11:55 AM

49 I would say all of the above but i can see them not agreeing. There needs to be a committee formed. Depending onthe people interested and have knowledge of the lands.

3/7/2016 11:38 AM

50 We are all community stake holders i think everyone has a say. 3/7/2016 9:29 AM

51 The community as whole needs to be involved. It's very important 3/7/2016 9:06 AM


53 All community members should be involved but we need a lead which is where MCK comes in. Community memberselected MCK Chiefs for a reason and that reason being is just that to take the lead for us, to be our voice

3/4/2016 9:35 AM

54 Community members need to be made aware of any new developments, nothing kept secret. Planning should be thecommunity's ultimate decision in the end. Everything should be

58 As long as they are Onkwehon:we with Kanienkeha:ka Lineage and a clan. 3/2/2016 3:08 PM

62 Consultants may be needed for community development or urban development 3/1/2016 11:37 AM

63 A committee should be made and that committee should take suggestions. 3/1/2016 11:36 AM

64 There are factors in all stakeholders. every Community member has a voice and should be heard and validated 3/1/2016 11:28 AM

65 Proper stakeholders, emergency members 3/1/2016 11:13 AM

70 Combination of above that will first evaluate (environment, Etc) Then target development. 3/1/2016 9:55 AM


72 Community should absolutely have their say but should not be directly involved. 3/1/2016 9:41 AM

73 Community members could play their own individual parts according to the plan always remembering the "real" waythe land is and was used.

3/1/2016 9:32 AM


75 Community members, all the categories involve community members. 2/29/2016 3:52 PM

76 All of the above in consulation; however, a plan may not be sufficient, a land use code or act will be required 2/29/2016 3:47 PM

77 NO further comments 2/29/2016 3:04 PM


79 Traditional people are community members so they should not be a separate category 2/29/2016 2:50 PM





84 MCK should lead with all other stakeholders to provide direction 2/29/2016 11:48 AM

85 Lands Unit and Environment protection are one in the same 2/29/2016 11:42 AM


87 Certain private interests (business "traditionalist" can sometimes be problematic in decision making, they do not reflectthe entire community.

2/29/2016 11:36 AM



90 Have everyone's say and have everyone in these options to be involved in putting it together. 2/29/2016 11:20 AM




94 A general consensus of each one would be going so that way we get many different perspectives. 2/29/2016 9:46 AM


96 All others who are educated (have knowledge) re: Land related issue. Nominate people to represent (like elections)and proceed from there.

2/29/2016 9:24 AM

97 Should be more seats for community members just in general than government officials. Should not be created byMCK, community members should empower. We must come together as a community, as a nation.

2/26/2016 2:50 PM

98 People who are knowledgeable, general knowledge of how land issues should be carried out 2/26/2016 2:13 PM



101 When to many people are consulted especially community members the focus is always on fun stuff. ie: Pool, Splashpark. the conversation becomes about "Wants" and not "Needs" that would truly benefit Kahnawake.

2/26/2016 1:44 PM

102 Every single community member should be involved. They have meeting but nobody shows 2/26/2016 1:33 PM

103 Should be a collaboration! Form a team of all the above reps. 2/25/2016 3:37 PM

104 Schools/Elders Lodge/Independent Living should get involved but mainly the school to get their input. 2/25/2016 3:14 PM

105 Represent a line from all sectors of the community should be included. 2/25/2016 2:22 PM

12 / 59



107 All aspects should be taken into consideration. The lands unit and the environment office should have the most say. 2/25/2016 9:26 AM

108 Everyone should work together. 2/24/2016 3:44 PM

109 I think longhouse people, the traditional council people. The longhouse people have a clear mind and think foreveryone not just themselves. Thats how we work and they also think of the land and the animals as well.

2/24/2016 3:17 PM

110 A rep from each cat, elected or appointed 2/24/2016 11:42 AM

111 The people of the community right down to the schools. 2/24/2016 8:59 AM

112 They know what the plan has to include. 2/24/2016 8:47 AM

113 It would be best community members so all our minds can come together as one 2/24/2016 8:31 AM

114 I think the environment protection office because they already know what the town needs and how it can beprotected. Business people don't really understand how it goes they are in it for the money.

2/22/2016 11:52 AM

115 Mohawk Council people meaning the portofolio chief of lands unit and environment. All these groups go hand in handwe need a working group or a committee with all these people.

2/22/2016 11:20 AM

116 Knowledgeable community members who have a vast knowledge of our issues 2/18/2016 3:37 PM

117 The community everyone should have a say in the land use plan, workshops with the youth and brainstormingsessions.

2/18/2016 2:29 PM

118 People who know more about the culture would be best. 2/18/2016 11:15 AM

119 People who will make sure that the land will be used properly. 2/18/2016 10:59 AM

120 I think they should be the ones to decide cause they know about the land 2/18/2016 10:41 AM

121 Committee could be community members with a traditional (knowledgeable) background 2/18/2016 10:36 AM

122 I don't think that MCK should have a say they just want the money. Traditional will think ahead into the next sevengenerations.

2/18/2016 10:33 AM

123 It's part of our culture every ones thoughts should be heard before the final say. 2/18/2016 10:18 AM

124 These members need to be agreeable. I think the ones that i picked are more structured they are very knowledgeableof what we need in Kahnawake.

2/18/2016 10:08 AM

125 If my 3 choices all worked together that would be good. 2/18/2016 9:56 AM

126 They know more about our land and also know whats good and safe for our community. We need more education inthat department to know whats going on here.

2/18/2016 9:39 AM

127 The longhouse men and woman have a different way of thinking. 2/17/2016 11:26 AM

128 There's 3 different perspectives in land knowledge it should be people who are more knowledgeable in the landinstead of people who have a higher seat then anyone else. Someone who is educated in the area and someone whohas been to other communities who studied and learned other ways.

2/17/2016 10:45 AM

129 The people who are smart about the land and people who have the drive to keep the land pure. 2/17/2016 9:50 AM


131 Students have a big we're the future generation and we need more recreation and leisure. 2/17/2016 8:59 AM


133 Community members incorporate everybody, ie: MCK, Environment, etc 2/17/2016 8:53 AM

134 All stakeholders who would have a positive impact 2/16/2016 3:30 PM

135 Community members consisting of traditional persons, someone knowledgeable about our lands and traditional valuesfor the lands.

2/16/2016 3:24 PM


137 Should be a committee to work with an urban plan to help to create a usable place in development, just a generalstructure - zoning

2/16/2016 3:06 PM

138 Seaway Authority, CP Rail. We should be compensated for their use of our lands ( Highway 30) 2/16/2016 2:57 PM

# Responses Date

1 My concern is not necessarily with the amount of land we have left, it's non-members owning land. Only native shouldown land. People should use only what they need.

4/4/2016 11:45 AM


3 They are all an issue if you take one out then there's a void. We need to pay more attention on the land we have now. 3/31/2016 10:39 AM

4 Indiscriminate uses of land without proper planning. Protected areas in perpetuity, not until someone wants to developit.

3/30/2016 9:35 AM

5 We have no land and we need to be equal. 3/29/2016 11:14 AM

6 They are all important. 3/29/2016 9:55 AM

7 We have land that is land locked. It's just plain rude to be made for access and infrastructure 3/29/2016 9:50 AM


9 The amount of land own by individual. Even if the person has a lot of land this land use plan won't let them just doanything with it.

3/29/2016 9:38 AM


11 Open up locked areas once and for all 3/29/2016 9:34 AM

12 No comments 3/29/2016 9:31 AM

15 Too much land is being purchased by a few individuals who can pay more. 3/23/2016 3:55 PM

16 Perfer protecting and strengthening our lands soils 3/23/2016 11:35 AM

17 Major concerns about factories being in residential areas, should not be allowed 3/23/2016 11:30 AM


19 As much as you won't believe it mother nature takes care of herself. She knows how to heal herself. 3/23/2016 10:58 AM

20 There are no industrial part for us to do anything really. Change should come from community members in general tohave an actual industrial part of Kahnawake.

3/23/2016 10:05 AM

21 There's a lot of dumping on seaway road. We should try and do some decontaminating at those site where the illegaldumping was happening. We also need some information on what type of trees we can and can't cut down.

3/21/2016 3:40 PM

22 Still a risk of contamination in commercial and residential areas; ex: business can contaminate soil for example,Goodleaf Auto, maybe oils have already seeped into the soil there. Landfill for profit

3/21/2016 3:02 PM

23 Access to land locked properties because in my situation one individual will not sign land over no matter what is beingoffered

3/18/2016 1:44 PM

24 Do we own land in Vermont? If we do what's happening with it? Can we build there? 3/18/2016 1:35 PM

25 We are seriously getting screwed out the little land that we have left. Nothing will come back to us or at least not in ourlifetime

3/17/2016 3:12 PM

26 Need a low where a native cannot sell land to non-native, that just ain't right. 3/17/2016 3:09 PM

27 We do not need to become a municipality. Using the white man's way is bullshit 3/17/2016 3:03 PM

28 I don't see changes happening re: getting our lands back 3/17/2016 2:43 PM


30 Lack of land is priority, 3/17/2016 2:32 PM

31 There's a lot of land taken by cigarette stores and it could be for homes. 3/17/2016 10:26 AM

32 First thing we need to busy ourselves with is lack of land which 3/14/2016 3:35 PM

33 People should not be dumping illegally. It's going into our lands and then no one can live or build there. Then we willhave no more land left

3/11/2016 2:26 PM


35 Factories built near residential areas, should not be allowed 3/10/2016 3:06 PM

36 Because limited land base on contaminated sites impact on the individual or communal ability to build on the outsideof village ex; drinking water and sewage for residential development.

3/10/2016 3:01 PM



39 All things I been worried a lot about and very interested in. 3/7/2016 3:33 PM

40 All of these issues make it important to see the impact of each of these areas and what it means as a whole forKahnawake.

3/7/2016 3:10 PM

41 Neighbors lack of pride in taking care of his/her property. Home business - Car Repairs - Very loud. 3/7/2016 2:36 PM

42 The place where i used to live i was very concerned about the water because it was near a old dump site. 3/7/2016 1:37 PM

43 Land owned by individuals that's mostly inhered by family members or like the [name ommitted] they should just dosomething with it and put an arena there.

3/7/2016 11:38 AM

44 Too many rich people are buying all the land for themselves. 3/7/2016 10:34 AM

45 I'm constantly worried about the amount of space we have in Kahnawake for the amount of people we have/forestareas.

3/7/2016 9:57 AM

46 Land is valuable-shouldn't own or belong (majority) to say (ex. 1 family owns all) 3/7/2016 9:06 AM


48 No further questions 3/4/2016 9:35 AM

49 What was wrong with having street signs? Thngs would be much more easier with deliveries and such, it should havebeen instituted.

3/3/2016 2:03 PM


51 We can't plant on contaminated sites, people should be more diligent and protect and respect their own land and ofcourse their neighbors land. We need to plant!

3/3/2016 9:33 AM

52 Why cut down trees and then do nothing with the land like near McSmokes 3/3/2016 9:26 AM

53 My main concern is the Creeks and waters the safety of the ecosystem. 3/2/2016 3:30 PM

54 Certain individuals shouldn't be allowed to own the town. 3/2/2016 3:08 PM

55 Not really fair for one person to have so many acres of land and keep buying more and more but other people havenon.

3/2/2016 2:00 PM


57 We should take what we need and no more greed! 3/1/2016 2:41 PM


59 It is of the utmost importance to prioritize the UN-contamination of the contaminated sites, it all comes down to rolesand responsibilities of every and every community member

3/1/2016 11:28 AM

60 Setting up a tobacco factory in the back yard of a residential area is and should be frowned upon 3/1/2016 11:13 AM



63 We need "Zoning Laws", all in caps! 3/1/2016 10:57 AM

64 We need jurisdiction and authority over all Lands 3/1/2016 10:50 AM

65 Keep environment safe zones. 3/1/2016 9:55 AM

18 / 59




68 With community ventures, all areas grow with ventures. Sub-divisions, people not leaving a will is a huge problem. Asimple task as this could solve many land related issues.

3/1/2016 9:32 AM

69 Property on 207 across from McSmokes, what is being done with it? Could be residential 3/1/2016 9:18 AM

70 Land locked people should open it up to get to their land. Contaminated sites should check it to see what it contains. 2/29/2016 3:52 PM







77 Commercial Ventures is a big one, people have no respect for one another 2/29/2016 2:41 PM








85 Issues on lack of access roads, contaminated sites is a big issue because i have no idea if it will affect my garden ormy water its probably in my soil as we speak.

2/29/2016 11:20 AM




89 Yes people have private property and we should have a say on what goes on the property. 2/29/2016 9:46 AM

90 Should be only certain types of ventures, rest for commercial development 2/29/2016 9:35 AM

91 Concerns that our future lands may be to contaminated for construction. Clear out trees that are not needed but leaveas much as possible.

2/29/2016 9:24 AM

92 Non-natives should not be renting land from a community member, there is not enough for us. Unfortunately we nolonger think as Haudenasaunee, we think in terms of Governance and Lands and Funding. we need to think aboutbreaking out of the Indian Act, should be inclusion above anything else from all our nations.

2/26/2016 2:50 PM





97 Comes down to respect of each other including the land respecting mother nature. 2/25/2016 3:37 PM

98 There is a lack of land thats why we chose the 30 land for garden project. We need better access of the land to reflecton who we are.

2/25/2016 3:14 PM

99 Zoning was shot down a few years ago, maybe it's a good time revisit that issue. 2/25/2016 2:22 PM


101 We can't keep using up land the ones who do have money keep buying more and more we need land for the futuregenerations.

2/25/2016 9:26 AM

102 We need more recreational places for the kids, picnic tables, trees for shade just places for families to enjoy theoutdoors.

2/24/2016 3:44 PM

103 If we don't leave trees, its affects the air and also the animals not knowing where to go. We have to start beingmeaningful to the land.

2/24/2016 3:17 PM

104 Concerned with land locked areas, family and friends cannot access these areas, should be able to 2/24/2016 11:42 AM

105 The membership people who just sell their land to anyone to the highest bidder. 2/24/2016 8:59 AM

106 Having enough land for people to build houses. 2/24/2016 8:47 AM

107 Commercial ventures in residential areas it affects the land and throws everything off, person experience i have a bitstorage bin across the street from my house and ever since the trees been cut i haven't seen any more deer cross orany kind of animals. I'm very environmentally friendly and i don't agree with people cutting down the trees, don't cutthem down if you have to.

2/22/2016 11:52 AM

112 What is going on with the land on highway 30, What is up with all the dirt along the seaway. What is being done withthe old survival school campus i would like to see things for the students over there.

2/18/2016 10:59 AM

113 It's not fair for one person to own so much land 2/18/2016 10:41 AM

114 Too many people owning too much land, it's not necessary 2/18/2016 10:36 AM

115 Damaging our ecosystems for another cigarette store or another gas station. 2/18/2016 10:33 AM

116 We need more respect for the land. 2/18/2016 10:18 AM

117 People should only have as much land as they need not as much land as they want. 2/18/2016 10:08 AM

118 Need more land. 2/18/2016 9:56 AM

119 We don't have much land. We need more road maintenance on the back roads. We're running out of land for theupcoming generations. People shouldn't be cutting down trees.

2/18/2016 9:39 AM

120 Housing for the future kids, running out of land and we should try to get more back. 2/17/2016 11:26 AM

121 Getting our land back on Highway 30 2/17/2016 11:18 AM

122 Some people think they're higher up and just out anything on the land the big tank for instance no one asked me ifthats what i wanted on our land, it's a waist of precious space.

2/17/2016 11:06 AM

123 Greed of land in this community. 2/17/2016 10:45 AM

124 People selling are land for just anything is a big issue. 2/17/2016 9:50 AM

125 We don't have any land to grow and expand.It's time to look else where. 2/17/2016 9:13 AM


127 Some people take the land like as if they own it and they don't we're suppose to belong to the land and take care of it.But all were doing is chopping down tons of trees.

1 Cultural land use for medicinal purposes, keep it preserved and well maintained. Burial sites are not as formalanymore. I believe the furture is moving away from burying in the cemetaries. People can and are using othermethods of burials. We have to determine what is a historical preservation site.

4/4/2016 11:45 AM

2 There should be limits to the regulations. A committee could evaluate all listed above. 4/1/2016 11:01 AM

15 To protect the protected areas and have rules on the areas on what should be able to go on the area. 3/21/2016 3:40 PM

16 Consolidation of public buildings, other municipalities are connected with one another, why can't we? 3/21/2016 3:02 PM

17 All are number one in my eyes, also, would like to see a casino in the outlying areas to generate money into thecommunity but not in residential areas. There should a time limit to land tenured areas, ex about 10 years and sign itback over.

3/18/2016 1:44 PM






23 Put a policy in place for land tenure NOW! 3/17/2016 2:32 PM


25 Incorporate traditional land use is so broad. It could be agricultural, cultural, burial and historical. 3/7/2016 2:07 PM


27 All are very important and need to be addressed immediately but I do not think land tenure should be taken intocondsideration. Peoples land is their land. They do with it what they want.

3/4/2016 9:35 AM

28 Land tenure, we should not force community members to give back their land if they are not using it or be forced toreturn what was rightfully theirs to begin with.

3/3/2016 2:03 PM


30 For Land Tenure, set a policy or what needs to be in place for a timeframe of possibly 5 years then contact that personand re-visit property expectations if not then land owner should sign land over for common lands. Our futuregenerations need a place to build.

3/3/2016 9:26 AM

31 It's important to have some commercial development do we could be more self sufficient, more businesses equals tomore revenue. We have to try and stop leaning on the outside government for money.

3/2/2016 2:00 PM

32 If was tendured to a community member, the will should left as is, who are we to say take that land. It's the personsland and we have no say to have the land go back to the people. Just like respecting a person's for their funeral;cannot and should not be altered. It's all about respecting one another!

3/2/2016 1:16 PM

33 Land tenure should be expropriated and given back is not using 3/1/2016 2:41 PM


35 We don't have much room for burial sites. 3/1/2016 11:36 AM

36 Develop provisions where a community member should prevent another community member from accessing theirland, everyone needs to access the locked property.

3/1/2016 11:28 AM


38 Concerning Land Tenure; a timeframe be instituted for every (25-30) years that the owner re-establish their intentions,otherwise land can be put up for common

3/1/2016 10:57 AM



41 If community members just followed policies alot could be resolved 3/1/2016 9:41 AM



44 Burial sites are running out of places, should fill in the creek put in pipe and attach the site. 2/29/2016 3:52 PM






50 All of the above, we can't have one without the other 2/29/2016 2:44 PM

51 Kateri Tekawitha should be like St Catherine tomb, have commercial cultural corridor like china town down the riverroad. That would be nice to see

2/29/2016 2:41 PM











62 Historical sites can be expanded for tourists, create revenue. 2/29/2016 9:46 AM

63 Re: Land tenure, yes, they should sell 2/29/2016 9:35 AM

64 First get lost land back then proceed with all of the above then we can kinda start from scratch although it is a longshot.

2/29/2016 9:24 AM

70 Preventing this be strict. People should not be able to have abandoned buildings and homes. There should be a timelimit to settle land disputes! You either give it to a family member, sell it or it goes back to the community.

2/25/2016 3:37 PM

71 We need more housing, important everyone has a chance at eating healthy when people come here to see what wereabout green spaces and mother earth is who we are and we care about the environment.

2/25/2016 3:14 PM


73 Land not being used and just sitting there. We can have so much benefits from agriculture, education, creating jobsand getting back to our roots. It would be good for our town.

2/25/2016 9:26 AM

74 Who is eligible for land. 2/24/2016 3:17 PM


76 People forgot how to plant and connect to the earth we need to reconnect ( Cultural Use) there should be a wholearea set aside for just cultural use.

2/24/2016 8:59 AM

77 Testing the land before they build on it to see if it's contaminated 2/24/2016 8:47 AM

78 Back in the day people use to plant a lot and we need more green spaces to encourage people to plant. We all needmore land for cultural us. Burial sites we need more land for that, running out of space now. Land locked propertiespeople should have access.

2/22/2016 11:52 AM

79 I see a lot of land tenure in this community no one knows who owns that land either it was passed down or someonepassed and it just sits there or it goes way back so many ways.

14 It's going to be difficult for people to agree because they feel strongly about being told what to put on their land. 3/23/2016 3:42 PM






20 No one ever shows up to meetings. We need more advertisement and possibly the best way would be online or duringthe weekends when everyone is free. We should also look out towards other native communities to see what theyhave in place.

3/21/2016 3:40 PM

21 Lack of resources, use models from other places. 3/21/2016 3:02 PM

22 Due to the lack of knowledge of some community members the time frame could take forever giving that everyoneonly argues when we sit down and talk

33 Our community really does not to come together and agree on "something", we are way too divided, having differentlonghouses prove it

3/11/2016 11:12 AM


35 The whole CP or certificate of possession system could go back to the traditional practice. 3/10/2016 3:01 PM

36 It's too hard to get people to be communal, an arguement would always be the result with no answer in the end andnothing gets resolved.

3/10/2016 9:55 AM


38 Community participate or lack of agreement and then they don't agree to the terms. 3/7/2016 2:07 PM

39 We have to be knowledgeable. 3/7/2016 1:37 PM

40 I have 6 kids don't tell me we have a lack of time, we have all the time in the world. 3/7/2016 11:38 AM







47 Membership issues tie into land allotments in more ways than one. Comes down to Community Agreement thenApproval of the community

3/3/2016 9:26 AM

48 If there was more community awareness then it would get more people involved. 3/2/2016 2:00 PM



51 Community knowledge (lack of it) is a huge issue, then agreement and finally adhering is the biggest obstacle. Peopledo what they want!

3/1/2016 11:37 AM

52 A little bit of everything, the community is very divided and it's for our future and we need to set aside our differences. 3/1/2016 11:36 AM

53 Community members have the sense of entitlement that "you can't tell me what to do" attitude and in most instancesthat may be true but not when it comes to ours land

3/1/2016 11:28 AM

54 The people who do participate have trouble agreeing. There are no funds available and the people who do think theyknow it all really don't and there is never any time to!!

3/1/2016 11:13 AM






60 Some community members would tell MCK where to go. It's my way or the highway attitude, hard to get thru to them 3/1/2016 9:41 AM

75 Some people can be ignorant as hell 2/29/2016 11:36 AM



78 People are so used to being free range and doing whatever they want they don't take into consideration the long termaffect. These surveys are a very good way to get information.

85 Lack of trust for the MCK 2/26/2016 2:50 PM




89 Community members have a tendancy to turn a positive into a negative. 2/26/2016 1:33 PM

90 All of the above. People don't like rules and regulations. 2/25/2016 3:37 PM

91 We depend on people to share their knowledge about the land so it would be nice to have knowledgeable people toknow what we need.

2/25/2016 3:14 PM

92 There should be a good representation of all sectors of the community (Like minded people-good minds). 2/25/2016 2:22 PM


94 There's so many divisions in town , no open minded people here they're very stubborn people. 2/25/2016 9:26 AM

95 In order to achieve this we need everyone to work together. 2/24/2016 3:44 PM

96 Everyone should come to one mind, we're haudenosaunee people it's are way to come to one in agreement. 2/24/2016 3:17 PM


98 Land claim issues been dragging on we need to get on top of that. 2/24/2016 8:59 AM

99 Because no one ever agrees on anything its always half and half never one mind. 2/24/2016 8:31 AM

100 A lot of people will get mad and tension will rise, we don't have a lot of time there's more and more families that needhomes.

2/22/2016 11:52 AM

101 I think that would make it a little difficult to achieve without a plan and make it a little longer to be finalized and therethe lack of time.

2/22/2016 11:20 AM

102 Community has to come together to achieve this, everyone is too concerned about who has the bigger house, weshouldn't be this way

2/18/2016 3:37 PM

103 People don't know a lot about it, information needs to be put out there. 2/18/2016 11:15 AM

13 Because all this vision speaks of is expanded land base, I do not see Land use as being the main focus 3/17/2016 2:32 PM

14 Possibly if I knew what was written. 3/17/2016 10:51 AM

15 Because all vision talks about is an expanded land base 3/14/2016 3:35 PM

16 Only thing is the vision just sits there on the front of the services complex and is not being utilized, why would this be?We need to come together as a community and begin implementing it, NOW!

3/10/2016 9:45 AM

17 Definitely relevant how we interact w/each other on our land has to show the respect we have for awareness and eachother.

3/7/2016 3:33 PM

18 It is still important, but there was no follow up on the vision on statement - no activities to support it. 3/7/2016 3:10 PM

19 The lack of land should be the main focus. 3/7/2016 2:07 PM

20 That's still part of it, were still connected to the land, we lost the connection but also we lost the connection and that'snot the kids fault it's the parents fault. We've adapted to white society to much.

3/7/2016 1:37 PM

21 I submitted a survey at that time i think it's still relevant just a matter of units working together. 3/7/2016 9:29 AM

22 This is very important as we (Kahnawake) need a vision 3/7/2016 8:59 AM

23 I think with the new government, if there are more people getting status then we would need more land for them also. 3/2/2016 2:00 PM

24 The youth are our future, they feel that it is very important. 3/2/2016 10:32 AM

25 With lands we can't do anything 3/1/2016 10:50 AM

26 I remember now 3/1/2016 9:55 AM

27 Was never implemented to my knowledge. Process of the land is still relevant; however it went unheard and stopppedand never touched upon again. It is of the utmost importance that we revisit!

3/1/2016 9:18 AM

28 I think they should develop half for business and the other half for agriculture. If we get the Sault St Seignery back weshould farm and be self sufficient.

2/29/2016 3:52 PM


30 Put it in larger clearer letters that people can read easier and in poin form; however, it's excellent to see that it is inKanienkeha

2/29/2016 2:41 PM

31 They have projects that its main focus is the land but they need to identify what is the goal. What and how will itbenefit the community.

2/29/2016 11:20 AM


33 Self identification should be prioritized. 2/29/2016 9:46 AM

34 We are well beyond this vision, I've re-read the vision statement and only one piece of it is about Land. It's notexpressive enough.

2/29/2016 9:35 AM

35 More so than ever before, our land should always be 1st on our priority list. 2/29/2016 9:24 AM

36 I've read the vision statement and I do not agree that land use was identified as being the most important. Our peopleare the voice of the nation, we need a holistic approach.

2/26/2016 2:50 PM




40 It's a good statement they are on the right path but they aren't fully applying it. If we follow that statement then we canall work together, we can all be collective like working in the community garden.

2/25/2016 3:14 PM


42 I still think it's the main focus and i think it still will be the communities strong point. 2/25/2016 9:26 AM

43 It would be great but i can't picture it in reality, the way we live now our community is divided it would take somethingbig for everyone to come together as one.

2/24/2016 3:44 PM

44 Would be nice to be that way and it could happen but with the division within our community it will be a lot of work. Inthe next 20 years it could be possible if people try to work together.

2/24/2016 3:17 PM

36 / 59


45 I remember some media coverage on but never really paid attention to what it entailed 2/24/2016 11:42 AM

46 Ideas on paper but we never go through with it. It's a fantasy. it would be nice but its just a vision. That vision isn't aclear vision of the community.

2/24/2016 8:59 AM

47 Looks good on paper but in practical people are to divided, people should start at home and have a good base thenwe can achieve all these things.

2/24/2016 8:47 AM

48 I did the vision statement when i was in K.S.S and its been 10 years later there has bin any movement but notenough. We have a long way to go with our land.

2/22/2016 11:52 AM

49 Yes for sure. But it doesn't seem like there's not a lot of movement they should show some sort of milestoneachievements to the community.

2/22/2016 11:20 AM

50 It's a start because are youth are starting to pull together on their own. 2/18/2016 2:29 PM

51 I do agree but i don't think we are fully educated on that, we need more of our language in the school systems i thinkif we have more language it will help us with the area of land.

2/18/2016 11:15 AM

52 I don't think so, it's seems like it's just getting worse. The drugs and alcohol and guns in this town is getting worse. 2/18/2016 10:59 AM

53 It needs to be used really for our future generations 2/18/2016 10:41 AM


55 I think its pathetic are you Mck or you longhouse. Are you in a ugly ship or a canoe. 2/18/2016 10:33 AM

56 There should be a lot of equals other than land use on the statement because there's a lot going on in this town. 2/18/2016 10:18 AM

57 It can be that way. We need regulations so that everyone could share the existing land fairly. 2/18/2016 10:08 AM

58 Not if we keep building were not going to have any land. It would be different if they kept sharing the same house likerecycling the house.

2/18/2016 9:56 AM

59 We should take into consideration that we have a lack of land, we have to use the land wisely don't put unnecessarybuildings on the land

2/18/2016 9:39 AM

60 I don't see anything coming out of it, I'm hopeful of it and would like to see it work. 2/17/2016 11:26 AM

61 I think it's good but i don't see it happening anytime soon. 2/17/2016 11:18 AM

62 I honestly don't see it being achieved ever because no one is sken:nen everyone is hard headed it would be nice tolive like that but no one is perfect.

2/17/2016 11:06 AM

63 I think it could be achieved in 20 years like any other vision if theres good intentions and people behind it could work.Good intentions now will be good for the future.

2/17/2016 10:45 AM

64 I don't see what came out of it. There hasn't been nothing that came out of it so far. 2/17/2016 9:50 AM

65 Land should always be our main focus. 2/17/2016 9:13 AM

66 #1, it's common sense, respect each other 2/17/2016 9:02 AM

67 I don't know i'm not apart of MCK so i don't know there's a lack of communication to the community there. 2/17/2016 8:59 AM


69 If we could achieve everything that has been envisioned, we could/would live in peace and harmony, but we are along way from that unfortunately

2/17/2016 8:53 AM

70 Yes, obtain more residential land 2/16/2016 3:30 PM

87 It could be reached in 20 years. I think a lot of people try and live that way and there is a lot that live far from it. A lot oforganizations working towards it but there's a lack of communication they need to put out a statement.

2/11/2016 2:30 PM

88 20 Years is approaching quickly i don't think we'll attain what is in that vision statement in 20 years. We need moretime.

2/11/2016 2:01 PM

89 It's important because we don't have much land left and we have to start using it wisely so the future generations couldprosper and the younger generations can have the same opportunities we had.

2 It's choas up there, all needs to be regulated ASAP! 4/1/2016 11:01 AM

3 I think that camping and recreation should be under the same one. 4/1/2016 10:25 AM

4 I don't want a land use plan for the road and trail development because if people have access to more lands then thatjust gives them more right to ruin the land.

3/31/2016 10:39 AM

5 The whole entire area, EVERYWHERE! 3/30/2016 9:35 AM

6 They should make a real camping area. 3/29/2016 11:14 AM

7 Definitely recreation areas, all the kids on their atv's need some sort of reminder. 3/29/2016 9:55 AM

8 Do not frequent 3/29/2016 9:50 AM

9 Respect for animals and land should be used purely for recreational purposes. Should be used with alcohol or drugsfor its original purpose for hunting and cultural use.

37 Making sure there's much land between cabins. 3/11/2016 12:05 PM

3/11/2016 12:00 PM

39 It's turning into a circus over there 3/11/2016 11:12 AM


41 Need comprehensive plan to balance out the living areas where people hunt and play, while allowing a healthy activeenvironment for all who frequent Tioweroton

3/10/2016 3:01 PM

42 I feel it's necessary to preserve the original intent of Tioweroton. We don't need mansions up there! 3/10/2016 9:55 AM

43 Something should be done but it's useless because people do what they want, when they want and how they wantwithout a regard for anyone else.

3/10/2016 9:45 AM

44 bylaws on cabin sites 3/7/2016 1:37 PM

45 As long as it is just for indians and not white people to go and hunt or live there. 3/7/2016 11:55 AM

46 To me there's not an issue because i don't really go there. I think it's still pretty peaceful. 3/7/2016 11:38 AM

47 At this point i don't think there's a land use plan in tiowero:ton. There's needs to be a recreation area and more traildevelopment. All these areas have needs.

3/7/2016 9:29 AM

48 Recreation areas specifically 3/7/2016 9:06 AM


50 I do not go to Tioweroton and don't have a comment 3/4/2016 9:35 AM

51 Have never been to Tioweroton, nor do I plan to 3/3/2016 2:03 PM

52 Build more normal cabins not mansions. Tioweroton is for getting to nature and not with noise pollution 3/3/2016 1:28 PM

53 We need security cameras for all these break ins, people don't respect anothers property, it's just not right! 3/3/2016 9:33 AM

54 There aren't supposed to be permanent structures there but there are, if we lose it now, there will be nothing for ourchildren and our children's children

3/3/2016 9:26 AM

55 The amount of square footage with 2 reservations sharing it and with more people there should be guidelines for all ofthese areas.

3/2/2016 2:00 PM

56 Mansions should not be allowed to be built, it takes away the whole sense of what Tioweroton is all about 3/2/2016 1:16 PM

57 A better relationship has to be formed with Kanesatake. Both communities are not on the same page. 3/2/2016 10:32 AM


59 They are putting cabins where the hunting areas are and that shouldn't happen that's dangerous. 3/1/2016 11:36 AM





64 For safety resons only road and trail develop to be able to drive with care 3/1/2016 10:50 AM

65 Why should we even consider Kanesatake, they owe us so much money. Kahnawake maintains Tioweroton, theyshould be removed from an further discussions

3/1/2016 9:52 AM

66 Need to have marked trails, it's too easy to get lost up there when hunting. 3/1/2016 9:41 AM



69 There's a lot of people that want to build but they don't want to open it up, people want to build, let them build. Weshould really do something about the maple trees up there and tap them generate money from that.

2/29/2016 3:52 PM

42 / 59


70 Land use for all areas idenified above are relavant. I believe commercial use or regulations on use should be also beaddressed

2/29/2016 3:47 PM

71 I think every area needs to be considered in order to have understanding of what our territory should be. 2/29/2016 3:40 PM






77 Are we a little too hollywood? How would one go about obtaining land to build a cabin in Tioweroton? 2/29/2016 2:41 PM








85 Especially cabin site areas (Needs to be Clearer approval of land) Needs to be clarity when someone goes get acabin.

2/29/2016 11:20 AM




89 You don't need to expand on recreation just keep tiowero:ton as natural as possible and off the grid as possible. Its aplace to get away from Kahnawake.

2/29/2016 9:46 AM


91 ATV use should only be used for going from point A to point B. Not for dust pollution/noise, and tearing up the land. 2/29/2016 9:24 AM





96 Hunting areas should be away from cabin sites for safety. Deforestation should be kept at a minimum. Aslo traildevelopment for walking and hiking and biking seems positive. No off road vehicles except for hunting purposes.

2/26/2016 1:44 PM


98 All important but again if rules are made they have to be enforced for everyone. 2/25/2016 3:37 PM

99 Cabins should all stay in one area, Thats where we go to connect to nature, place to ground ourselves with motherearth and it's important that it doesn't be developed commercially

2/25/2016 3:14 PM

100 Tiowero:ton should be a place where we go to relax, experience peace and quiet as in days of years ago. So plansneed to be made for this kind of environment.

2/25/2016 2:22 PM


102 People are taking out trees to get into the places to hunt, they're breaking trees and going through other peoples lots. 2/25/2016 9:26 AM

103 I don't think there needs to be more cabins i think families should share a cabin. People aren't being respectful to theland anymore by building these big houses. I don't think there should be houses there just small off the grid cabins.

2/24/2016 3:44 PM

104 Keep the cabin areas small so we have land to hunt, pick blueberries and pick our medicines in. Keep it natural aspossible.

2/24/2016 3:17 PM

105 No comment, do not go to there 2/24/2016 11:42 AM

106 To make sure the animals and people have sites to use. I think the place is made for hunting and fishing not forrecreational. The place is for peace a place to go for peace.

2/24/2016 8:47 AM

107 We need to preserve the areas a little more people build over there and don't even use their cabins. We have to makesure everything is respected over there.

2/22/2016 11:52 AM

108 Preservation of the areas is important. I don't own a cabin in tiowero:ton so I think my answers would be bias. But Ithink a lot of these areas should not be regulated because it's supposed to be a area where things should be relaxedand free.

2/22/2016 11:20 AM


110 All of them would be good. 2/18/2016 11:15 AM

111 People building houses when they should just stick with cabins. 2/18/2016 11:07 AM

112 More roads being built, more trees being cut down we need to preserve the area. Start going back to the old way bysharing cabins.

2/18/2016 10:59 AM



115 We need to preserve the areas because people will ruin it. One should share a cabin. No more clear cutting becauseit will effect hunting.

2/18/2016 10:33 AM

116 I think it should be the way it is. I don't to be like town we should keep it as natural as possible. 2/18/2016 10:18 AM

117 They are all important. Need to have these areas regulated or developed. 2/18/2016 10:08 AM

118 Seems as though there's just cabins, would be nice if there was a community camp ground and a supervised placewhere kids can swim and a ropes course/Zip line activity.

2/18/2016 9:56 AM

119 Keep cabins in the same areas, designated hunting areas keep away from the cabins. Keep the falls just for recreationand to have a safe environment for our people.

2/18/2016 9:39 AM

120 It's important to have it structured properly. 2/17/2016 11:26 AM

121 Can't put up to much cabins so it should mostly be hunting areas because we dont have much over here to hunt. 2/17/2016 11:06 AM

122 Everyone is just up there and do what they want. There should be something where you can and can't do. Noteveryone will like it but there's got to be something.

2/17/2016 10:45 AM

123 People just don't care anymore, people's common sense just went out the door. Families should just have one cabin.There should be no drugs or alcohol allowed in Tiowero:ton.

2/17/2016 9:50 AM

124 It's all about preserving the land. 2/17/2016 9:13 AM

125 I think campling area would be good for Kahnawakeronon to experience it before applying for property 2/17/2016 9:02 AM

126 Need cabin areas to stay small so there will be room for everything else. 2/17/2016 8:59 AM

2/11/2016 2:30 PM

146 We need to keep the intent of the territory, we need a balance between leisure and hunting and fishing. Even thoughwe don't need to hunt that much it's still our way of life and we still need to pass that down.

2/11/2016 2:01 PM

147 Land use plan has to be comprehensive. Can't just have one of them and not the other you have to include all of thembecuase it can affect each other.

1 Overhunting is not a land related issue, what would the limitations of develop? How much is too much developmentwithin families?

4/4/2016 11:45 AM

2 People take advantage of the lawlessness that is up there. 4/1/2016 11:01 AM

3 It's not a law less area people think you can do whatever you want but we still have to follow their law. A law isn't thesame as a policy.

4/1/2016 10:25 AM

4 They are all important. 3/31/2016 10:39 AM

5 I don't think Over hunting would be a land related issue 3/30/2016 9:35 AM

6 There's not enough site by the water and it's hard to make a foundation. 3/29/2016 11:14 AM



9 Need more awareness on the environment. Keeping the place clean and try to stop the atv's from driving through thewaters. We need to respect the land a little more. The caretakers are doing a good job though.

15 All of the above. Tioweroton is not like it use to be, the place is still beautiful but it could be preserved better. 3/23/2016 3:55 PM

16 Lack of respect is a big issue in tiowero:ton it applies to all these areas. 3/23/2016 3:42 PM

17 People over hunt and kill more than they need. 3/23/2016 2:42 PM

18 We need to preserve the areas a little more because we don't want are land in tiowero:ton to be disgusting. 3/23/2016 2:35 PM



21 I believe there is a conflict of interest with caretaker and his family hunting all the game. I believe "vested" interestedindividuals should have more a say in what happens in Tioweroton not "all" community members.

3/23/2016 11:15 AM


23 More information to the cabin owner's about cabin construction, disturbing the ecosystems and disrespect to the land. 3/23/2016 10:45 AM

24 Do not frequent Tioweroton but have heard these are the issues 3/23/2016 10:05 AM

25 We shouldn't be building to many cabins there. No harm to the environment only been there twice so i'm not all thatinformed.

3/21/2016 3:40 PM

26 There are laws that apply in both areas; re: helmets being worn. Laws need to be applied no matter what territory youare in

3/21/2016 3:02 PM

27 Do not want to see foundations on cabins construction goes with the feeling of most that you can't tell me what I canand cannot do on my own property

3/18/2016 1:44 PM

28 Lack of maintaining land or preservation of the areas 3/18/2016 1:35 PM

29 Most of the areas are well preserved. 3/18/2016 11:33 AM

36 Trees are dying need to be cleared and trimmed to allow them to grow healthier. 3/17/2016 10:51 AM


38 The caretakers should caretake a little better. We need some sort of education out there for the young ones, teachthem how to respect the land.

3/14/2016 12:19 PM

39 Again, no comment, I do not go 3/11/2016 2:26 PM

40 Becoming too modernized 3/11/2016 11:12 AM


42 Do not modernize Tioweroton, we need to get back to the original intent of it. Cabinets do not need foundations 3/10/2016 3:01 PM


44 People take too much, not only what they need, which is the way that our culture should be. 3/10/2016 9:45 AM

45 Over hunting meaning 1 kill per family. 3/7/2016 2:07 PM

46 Everything listed is what I've heard about whats going on out there. 3/7/2016 1:37 PM

47 Pretty much all of the above, it's scary how much abuse has happened in the past twenty plus years. 3/7/2016 1:14 PM

48 ATV's under age driver, noise levels and all the dust created. 3/7/2016 11:50 AM

49 Garbage on the ground and not safe. 3/7/2016 11:38 AM

50 Atv's the noise is bad, there should be some sort of curfew where all bikes need to be off the roads at a certain time.People like to litter at the falls and we are disturbing the ecosystems with our shampoo's and conditioner's washing upin the falls.

3/7/2016 9:29 AM

51 I think all are important but specifically Distrubing the ecosystems and deforestation are just a little cut more above theedge

3/7/2016 9:06 AM

52 Lack of respect to our land and others 3/7/2016 8:59 AM

53 I do not go to Tioweroton and don't have a comment 3/4/2016 9:35 AM

54 Have never been to Tioweroton, nor do I plan to 3/3/2016 2:03 PM


56 Community members should be making hunting cabins not damn mansions, generation are also noise pollution 3/3/2016 9:33 AM

57 It all boils down to RESPECT! 3/3/2016 9:26 AM

58 To many mansions in tiowero:ton 3/2/2016 3:08 PM

59 Young adults and old adults drinking and partying is an issue over there. 3/2/2016 2:00 PM


61 Better communication through local media and social media to community, especially our youth about respecting theland in Tiowero:ton.

3/2/2016 10:32 AM


63 Re: Disrespect to the land, community members should walk the talk and "what you pack in, pack it out 3/1/2016 11:37 AM

64 Setting cabins in areas. 3/1/2016 11:36 AM

65 Respect for land, no more noise pollution 3/1/2016 11:28 AM

68 DO SOMETHING PLEASE! 3/1/2016 10:57 AM

69 Lack of financial participation of Kanesatake, they claimed they wanted land use but contribute nothing to the care of it 3/1/2016 10:50 AM


71 Hunting areas do not need to be maintained, it would destroy the forest and the animals would not come aroundanymore, just leave it and they will come, there is no overhunting in my eyes

3/1/2016 9:41 AM



74 ATV's are a problem they don't slow down they dust you out and we need to thin out the forest a bit i think it's gettinga little out of hand.

75 NO further comment 2/29/2016 3:47 PM






81 Use of too many fourwheelers tearing up lands. There are also far too many hollywood type cabins up there and waytoo much drunkenness

2/29/2016 2:41 PM








89 There's a lot of ATV's and cars speeding through the area like its a speedway. There's garbage everywhere there's alot of disrespect for the land in tiowero:ton.

2/29/2016 11:20 AM




93 Need to have a balance there should be a overall consensus. Need to have it monitored they all need a balance. 2/29/2016 9:46 AM


95 Should be accessible and shared amongst all Haudenasaunee nations 2/26/2016 2:50 PM



98 I don't frequent Tioweroton but this is what I hear 2/26/2016 2:03 PM

99 Who is keeping track of who is going to tiowero:ton and what is going on over there? Health and safety reasons. 2/26/2016 1:44 PM

100 Some take more than what is needed 2/26/2016 1:33 PM

101 Cabin construction is important but as long as it fits in to all the other points there okay. 2/25/2016 3:37 PM

102 I do see garbage at times and that goes hand in hand disrespecting the land and a lack of respect. There's peoplewho speed threw and also a lot of partying and to much noise going on in Tiowero:ton.

2/25/2016 3:14 PM

103 Too much partying goes on there, leaving their trash. Taking more than they should 2/25/2016 10:56 AM

104 Disrespecting the land by drinking and partying and i think they are over hunting also. 2/25/2016 9:26 AM

105 With people riding they're 4 wheelers stirring up dust disturbing the lands. 2/24/2016 3:44 PM

50 / 59


106 It's supposed to be a place to get away from how we live now but people are going over board with all the moderntechnology to their land and cabins.

2/24/2016 3:17 PM

107 No comment, do not go there 2/24/2016 11:42 AM

108 Lumbering! The potential of commercial use should be banned! We should preserve it because it's our only land wehave left.

2/24/2016 8:59 AM

109 Not damaging the land and not polluting it keeping it good for future generations 2/24/2016 8:47 AM

110 Theres a lot of disrespect to the land in Tiowero:ton people just go there to party and not respect the land. 2/24/2016 8:31 AM

111 I don't have a problem how people build their cabins i don't really have a say in that but don't be cutting down trees fora bigger yard. The lack of respect to the land all the noise coming from partying that's disrespecting the animals,disturbing the bears and wolves.

2/22/2016 11:52 AM

112 Based on what I hear there's no respect to the land it's suppose to be an actual environment. 2/22/2016 11:20 AM

113 we need to rise above this, our land is all we have at this time. It's only a start to respect the land, we have to respectone another as well

2/18/2016 3:37 PM

114 A lot of noise in Tiowero:ton (ATV's, Generators) 2/18/2016 2:29 PM

115 No comment 2/18/2016 11:15 AM

116 If we don't preserve the area it's just going to turn out like one big paved area. 2/18/2016 11:07 AM



119 By not preserving the land it will affect our medicines, the land the waters and our hunting. 2/18/2016 10:33 AM

120 Fear that it will turn like it is in Kahnawake. They say were assimilated here but they're trying to assimilate it therealso.

2/18/2016 10:18 AM

121 No longer a quiet place atv's are a big problem. 2/18/2016 10:08 AM

122 There is always drinking it's just a big party spot for everyone and the caretakers aren't doing a good job of their job. 2/18/2016 9:56 AM

123 People are getting to modern having wifi and generators in their cabins. People litter dropping their beer cans all overthe place and riding their atv's though the waters.

2/18/2016 9:39 AM

124 We need to keep sustaining the land. 2/17/2016 11:26 AM

125 People hunt to early they should wait til the animals get bigger. There has to be common sense when hunting andmore education about hunting also.

2/17/2016 11:18 AM

126 People partying out there and ripping up the area with their four wheelers and also killing more then they should. 2/17/2016 11:06 AM

127 There shouldn't be any illegal personal usage to the land, no illegal industrial usage, no personal land claims totiowero:ton.

2/17/2016 10:45 AM

128 We need some sort of cap on how many deer or moose we shoot. There's way to many cabins out there. 2/17/2016 9:50 AM


130 People go over there just to drink and party with their friends. All of those things listed are all an issue. 2/17/2016 8:59 AM

Q20 Do you have any additional commentsabout the survey or the land use planning

process?Answered: 133 Skipped: 69

# Responses Date



3 There should have been different sections for kahnawake and Tioweroton or two separate surveys done 3/30/2016 9:35 AM

4 The process for giving out land should be changed. Single men should be screened in regards to their history (marriedout or half) They should only get land with partner from Kahnawake. There is not enough land and some couples endup gaining two lots of common land.

3/29/2016 9:50 AM

5 It is an important issue, thank you for bring it forward. 3/29/2016 9:44 AM

6 I would like to see a land use plan set now then never. If there will be a policy set in place we need to enforce themcorrectly and make them legit or else anyone could bring it to the court system and make their way around it. What willthe consequences be if someone breaks any of the rules or the policy?

3/29/2016 9:38 AM


8 No Additional Comments 3/29/2016 9:34 AM

9 I refuse to complete survey as questions are too vague. For the most part questions other than Tioweroton do notdisplay Kahnawake in the question that is being directed, so how do we know if we are answering specifically forKahnawake, it could be Tioweroton too

3/29/2016 9:31 AM


11 No additonal comments 3/29/2016 9:16 AM

12 This is a important initiative. 3/23/2016 3:42 PM

13 Great job we needed something like this in Kahnawake otherwise it's just a free for all. 3/23/2016 2:35 PM



16 Interested in know what affect Tioweroton Policy will have on this land use survey. Concerned with advertisement ofthis survey, according to K103, no where did they mention that it was "open to all community members".

3/23/2016 11:15 AM


18 Needs to be more information out there to the community and also for the caretakers to be more aware aboutenvironment things.

3/23/2016 10:45 AM


20 We need to take more land back and we should be fighting back more. I would like to hear more about it in the nearfuture.

3/21/2016 3:40 PM

21 Develop land use primarily before Tioweroton. Be highly strategic in how wer entertain our land policy. Enter intopartnership with Kanesatake

3/21/2016 3:02 PM

22 Should a committe or planning committee be formed I would like to sit on this committee. Also, have concerns of "why"should I have a surveyor from out of town come survey my land, "why" can't someone from here do it?

3/18/2016 1:44 PM



25 A land use plan would give more power to MCK, should not be even involved 3/17/2016 3:09 PM

27 Re: Land water, Johnson's beach; there are no recreational waters left. If there's an opportunity to develop that areaand turn it into a man made water way, we should do that. Water goes low on season, and there are ways to bring thewater levels back up. mechanical gate or a DAM could do this

3/17/2016 2:43 PM



30 No additional comment 3/14/2016 3:35 PM

31 Should have came out with a survey like this a long time ago. 3/14/2016 12:19 PM




35 Keeping the momentum to attain a land use plan needs to be kept thru one champion. All stakeholders should beinvolved.

3/10/2016 3:01 PM

36 I think we limited because of the CP. Again, I hate to use the word "zoning" but it's always there and more than likelywill not go away. We need a law to support the plan, then a comprehensive communal plan would come into play toguide the land use plan.

3/10/2016 9:55 AM


38 Good luck you have my support. 3/7/2016 3:33 PM

39 I think now is the time for a land use plan. We sometimes take for granted what we have and turn a blind eye to themisuse of the land. We are always quick to point out mother earth and keepers of the land. It's all our responsibility -let's work together.

3/7/2016 3:10 PM

40 Hurry the hell up. 3/7/2016 2:57 PM

41 We need meetings. 3/7/2016 2:07 PM

42 Glad to see there is hope is preserving our sacred land in the north. 3/7/2016 1:14 PM

43 We should set up a committee of indian woman and men to see who is getting the land. 3/7/2016 11:55 AM

44 Commercial development of SLS lands from mercier bridge to KSS along seaway. High rise apartments along SLS. 3/7/2016 11:50 AM

45 I would like more information on the land use plan. I would like to participate and i would also like to see the kids getinvolved.

3/7/2016 9:29 AM


47 Good start to this process, keep surveying! 3/7/2016 8:59 AM





52 For the one that build cabins and never go up there to use it, they should sign their cabins over to someone who will.Other can benefit from it. Also some build roads that goes beyond their property, they should give something for it. Wealso need DUST CONTROL!

3/3/2016 9:26 AM

53 Concerned of the waters, once our waters are contaminated we no longer exist. 3/2/2016 3:30 PM

54 We need more education on and in Tiowero:ton. We need some sort of program that consists of survival skills/cultureand even history. Medicine walks, how to identify certain animals or trees, how to skin a animal. Then maybe peoplewill respect the land a bit more.

3/2/2016 2:00 PM




58 Keep in mind for commercial development of land. Community awareness needs to be put forth. 3/1/2016 11:28 AM

67 Next time Lands has a survey, you need to give gift certificates out! Excellent process, longtime incoming. Hope to seechanges soon!

3/1/2016 9:18 AM


69 I think its a great initiative because in both our territories there is visible abuse of land and land use. People need tobe reminded that we are caretakers and not owners.

71 NO additional comments 2/29/2016 2:53 PM

84 NO additional comments 2/29/2016 11:20 AM



87 There should me more workers because it's like a national park and we should treat it like one. Theres to manygenerators there and they're very loud and so are the ATV's amd Skidoo's.

2/29/2016 9:46 AM

88 what exactly is a land use plan, our waters are a HUGE distinction? Who is doing the analysis, I would like theseanswers!

2/29/2016 9:35 AM

89 As much as it's a pain, there are houses that are rotting away; tear them down and rebuild. Why always building fromscratch. Everyone should always take their neighbor into consideration when building.

2/29/2016 9:24 AM

90 Nothing further to add 2/26/2016 2:50 PM





95 Keep addressing this is important issues. Protect our earth and land. People who live in the USA or outside should notbe able to have house or property and never do anything with it! The should advise people to only leave land orproperty to 1 person and not a group of people that will never agree what to do with it.

2/25/2016 3:37 PM

57 / 59


96 Many people in Kahnawa:ke fear or resent LAWS. There needs to be a push for laws and assure residence that lawsare there for SAFETY for ALL.

2/25/2016 2:22 PM


98 There should be a community meeting on the vision statement in order to remind the community what are goal andwhere we would like to be in 20 years. Also the progress leading to the statement.

2/25/2016 9:26 AM

99 Tioweroton is a place to reconnect with mother earth but we're steering away from it. I have a problem with Nonnatives owning land and hiding behind onkwehonwe people owning it for a business.

2/24/2016 3:17 PM


101 Why does it have to take years to create a plan? I would like to know whats going on with higway 30 because if it'sdeveloped for commercial use only the white people will benefit off of it. It should go back to the community.

2/24/2016 8:59 AM

102 We need to figure out how we will use the land and what will we use the land for. How will we come up with a solutionfor someone who passes away with land in their name who will it go to? The land locked properties how will that bedealt with and also the commercial development in residential areas is a problem and it shouldn't continue.

2/22/2016 11:52 AM

103 I think the land use plan is important to have it definitely would be good. 2/22/2016 11:20 AM

104 I hesitate to use the word zoning but sometimes it has to come into play. If everyone respects their neighbors barriers,we wouldn't even need the court system. Respect is what it's all about.

2/18/2016 3:37 PM



107 There's no fish there because of the poachers catching everything up stream. One day when we need to go back tothat land there will be nothing left.

2/18/2016 10:33 AM

108 Classes on prevention on plants, or getting attacked on what to do, CPR courses offered at Tiowero:ton would begreat and survival skills classes.

2/18/2016 9:56 AM

109 I hope to see good things come out of this survey and good results. 2/17/2016 11:26 AM

110 We need to start thinking and doing more for the next generation. Can't keeping putting up businesses like what weredoing now we don't have all the land in the world we have to choose wisely of what we do with it.

2/17/2016 11:06 AM

111 We need more updates and more education on what's going on and more ideas for the future generations. Maybe usesocial media as a tool to get things out there because everyone seems to be focusing on these days.

2/17/2016 10:45 AM

112 I think they dont look to years down the road it's more just fast money. 2/17/2016 9:50 AM

113 I think the land should belong to the longhouse woman that's our original way. 2/17/2016 9:13 AM



116 The land use process is very important to us as a community, current day and to bring us into the future looking intothe future "for" future generations to live by established guidelines and adhere to them
