Kahnawake, Indigenous territory on the Saint Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada

The Kahnawake territory spans 50 square kilometers along the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River, opposite to Montreal's urban center.

French Canadians established Kahnawake as a Jesuit mission in 1719, creating a settlement for the Mohawk people displaced by European colonization.

The Mohawk language preservation programs and traditional ceremonies remain central to the community's identity through dedicated educational initiatives.

Visitors can reach Kahnawake via Route 132 from Montreal, with local establishments offering authentic Indigenous crafts and traditional foods.

The territory operates an independent gaming commission that licenses Internet gambling sites, generating technological employment opportunities for residents.
