Montreal Gazette – The leader of the Kanesatake Mohawk community is demanding the Quebec government include the protection of territory, languages and culture of Indigenous people in its bill recognizing Quebec as a nation in the Canadian constitution and establishing French as the only official language. Quebec’s Bill 96 is a “second colonization”, Kanesatake Grand Chief says. He also said he’s concerned that Quebec wants to recognize its status as a nation and protect the French language on the province’s territory, when that territory is in large part unceded Indigenous territory and there has been no discussion or negotiation with First Nations.
