This article presents information about the social conditions in Kanehsatake Mohawk Territory, Quebec as of May 2004. Kanehsatake Mohawk Territory is dysfunctional. It has a population of about 2,500. It's millions of dollars in debt. It has escalating legal bills in excess of $1 million, thanks to the endless court fights between various factions on band council. It can't afford the $1.5 million it takes to run the community. Services have been cut or cut back drastically. Teachers worry about jobs. The school is in jeopardy. Parents worry about their children. Families that should have had homes must wait because money earmarked for housing, education and social services has been diverted to cover the on-going mismanagement at the band office.
