The Kahnawake Mohawk Territory (Kahk'nuh'wa'guh/Gah'nah'wah'gay in Mohawk, Kahnawáˀkye in Tuscarora) is an Inian reserve on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada, across from Montreal. It has also been known as Fort St. Louis, Caughnawaga and 17 other European variations of Kahnawake. The only clue to the location of Indian Reserve # 14 on 1960s government maps of southern Quebec is its blank cartography. Kahnawake is natural territory totalling an area of 48.05 square kilometres. Its resident population numbers about 7,100 with a significant number off the territory. Its land base today is unevenly distributed due to archaic federal Indian Act law that oversees individual land possession unlike the Canadian norms that apply to the land around it. Kahnawake has used the English language keeping its Mohawk language intact while maintaining a life surrounded by 2 million French-speaking Quebecers. Culture and language have long memories and deep roots for both Mohawk and French-speaking Quebecers.
