WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! Posted on May 16, 2012
Your help is urgently needed for a 13 year old Mohawk child........
Paula Stainton was diagnosed with Accute Lyphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) on January 31, 2012. Paula lives on Norways Rd with her mother Dawn Sero, step-father Russ Loft Jr & sisters Nadean & Madi. Paula has been in & out of KGH steadily since being diagnosed & her outcome is very bleak. Her body is not able to produce Bone Marrow of its own & her sister Nadean is not a match.
There is a shortage of "Native" donations in the bone marrow registry according to the One Match Bone Marrow team. And we are now reaching out to our communities for bone marrow donations as this is her only hope!
We are begging for our community members and those from our sister communities to please do the swab kit. If not for Paula, then for all of our Native People who are need of help.
It all starts with a 10 minute form on-line & then a swab kit will be mailed to you! How easy can it get????? Please check out the website.........

Your participation will be greatly appreciated!

BUYER BEWARE - Water Companies Posted on December 09, 2011
The Mohawk Administration Office does not endorse or promote any water treatment company selling their product though community door-to-door canvassing or advertising.
Should any company provide solicitation on your property and advise homeowners their product was pre-approved by the Band Office/Administration Office please note, this is false information.
If you choose to allow the company access to your premises and allow the company to provide information regarding your water quality, that is your choice as the property and homeowner.
The chemical makeup of each water supply varies; not one product is right for everyone's various types of water supply. Always remember water companies visiting your property have invested interest in you purchasing their product and in most cases sales people can be very convincing. MBQ can test many parameters of water quality to verify the water's safety and/or make recommendations for remedy.
If you wish to have your water tested for various parameters please contact the Environment Department (Water Quality services) within the Administration Office to arrange an appointment at your convenience at no cost to homeowner. Each situation may require further details for each water analysis.
If you have any questions or require further information please feel free to contact Liz or Crystal at the Mohawk Administration Office at 613-396-3424.

Boil Water Reminder Posted on March 23, 2011
As a reminder, in February 2008 Health Canada recommended that the Tyendinaga Mohawk Council place a precautionary boil water advisory on all the ground water fed wells in the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.
Should your bacteriological water sample indicate a safe or adverse result please ensure the water is boiled or disinfected and filtered. The water sample may contain water borne parasites such as Giardia or Cryptosporidium without proper filtration. Please do not consume or serve the water to the public.
For information on obtaining a water treatment system for your household, business or service building please contact a licensed plumber as each water supply varies. Ensure your plumber is aware that you must have filtration for water borne parasites.
If you have any questions please call Crystal Maracle or Liz Brant at the Mohawk Administration Office 613-396-3424.
*Please note: the municipal water supply is monitored through the water treatment plant in Deseronto and is considered safe for consumption. This supply is available at the Bayshore Park for bottle fills, please remember to disinfect your containers*
