Overview

The Kahnawà꞉ke Mohawk Territory is a First Nations reserve on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada, across from Montreal. Established as Seigneury Sault du St-Louis by French Canadians in 1719 as a Jesuit mission, it was formerly known as Caughnawaga. There are 17 European spelling variations of the Mohawk Kahnawake and the name Kahnawà꞉ke refers to at least three historical places in New York State, in addition to the latest one.
