OFFICE OF THE C.E.O.
Major Highlight
Highlighting fiscal year 2006-2007was the international expansion for
Tewatohnhi’saktha and its related enti-ties. A sizeable amount of work wentinto restructuring Mohawk InternetTechnologies and establishingContinent 8 in the Isle of Man. In addi-tion we established a Kahnawakeowned holding company, OnkwawistaHoldings Limited (Tewatohnhi’sakthaand the Mohawk Council of Kahnawakeboth hold 50% of OnkwawistaHoldings) and a subsidiary, OnkwawistaLimited, to hold the community’sshares of Continent 8.
The principal objective for all thisrestructuring was to prepare for aninternational expansion of Continent8’s data center services which was tobe financed through an Initial PublicOffering (IPO) on London’sAlternative Investment Market. Then,after months of preparation and justbefore the actual IPO, the UnitedStates passed the Unlawful InternetGaming Enforcement Act which hada major impact on the on line gaming
industry and infrastructure suppliers.In consequence, Continent 8’s
market value declined about $100million US. We could not justify apublic offering based on the newnumbers as we knew this was under-valuing the company. The market hassince settled down somewhat andthere still may be an opportunity forus to go public in the future but build-ing value in a profitable private com-pany is our first priority. Though it hasplaced some cash flow restrictionson its operations, Continent 8 hasbeen able to establish data centeroperations in Malta and has made2007 data center plans for the Isle ofMan and Singapore. Despite thecash requirements of these expan-sion plans, it did declare a distributionto Onkwawista Limited for $1.7 mil-lion and these funds will be trans-ferred to the Mohawk Council ofKahnawake in fiscal year 2007-2008.
Our first foray into the internationalbusiness scene has been a successand it is without question somethingthe community can be proud of. Overtime, our investments should accruevalue in excess of $150 million and wewill have presence in at least threecontinents. And yes, the community,through the Mohawk Council ofKahnawake and Tewatohnhi’saktha,will receive annual distributions to helpfinance the cost of services inKahnawake.
Other HighlightsThe year 2006-2007 also saw the com-
pletion of a new, community owned,42,000 square foot office building whichis detailed elsewhere in this report.
Tewatohnhi’saktha Consultingcontinues to grow its focus on
generating revenues by sellingconsulting services and the hiringof a new team member, Amy Rice.Louie John Diabo was seconded tothe Education Center where he isapplying his talents as a projectmanager on the new KahnawakeSurvival School.
A planned acquisition of theBeauvais Quarry with the MohawkCouncil of Kahnawake was not car-ried out after new bore hole studiesindicated the quality of the stonewas lower than expected and couldmaterially affect the value of thequarry. We were unable to satisfyourselves that the quarry was aviable acquisition at the proposedprice within the time frame requiredby the owner and consequently, thequarry was sold to another buyer.
The wind generated electricity proj-ect is still in a waiting mode for a pol-icy change at Hydro Quebec thatwould result in a private purchaseagreement by them of electricityproduced in Kahnawake.
A feasibility study was carried outon a private diabetes clinic. Theresults are inconclusive – while thereis significant potential for this busi-ness on the market side, there areseveral legal hurdles that must becrossed before we can consider acommunity investment.
Lastly, Tewatohnhi’saktha continuesto refine its focus on what the Board ofDirectors tell us is important, measur-ing progress and reporting results. Allof our indicators, from helping peopleget into the labour market to smallbusiness assistance to revenue gen-eration, give evidence that we aremaking significant progress in helpingthe community develop.

Investing In Our People
This past year witnessed a veryhigh level of activity in the
Employment & Training (E&T) unit aswe served over 700 communitymembers and partnered with over 50community organizations and busi-nesses in one way or another. All ofthese efforts are aimed at the eco-nomic development and self-suffi-ciency of Kahnawá:kehró:non byimproving employability of individualsthrough our employment and trainingservices programs.
Individuals continue to access avariety of services from consultingand career planning with our employ-ment counselors, to active enroll-ment in professional and vocational
courses. The bulk of E&T fundingwas allocated towards subsidizingtuition costs, living allowances, andchildcare expenses of individuals inorder to allow our clients access toacademic upgrading and trainingcourses to achieve their careerplans.
At our Training Center, the commu-nity has access to a computer lab,labor market resources center, and atraining room, that together allow usto organize and offer special custom-designed courses for the community.
This past year we established apartnership with Champlain Collegeand offered on-site a one-year A.E.Caccredited Computer Help DeskSpecialist Program. Most of the grad-uates will have opportunities for
internships here in Kahnawake whileothers will be in Montreal.
Employability programs are anoth-er strategy that allows for integrationinto the workforce. A good exampleof this program is the KahnawakeSummer Student EmploymentProgram (KSSEP) where successfulpartnering of businesses and com-munity organizations were able tohost high school, CEGEP andUniversity students in order to gainnew work and life experiences. Thisprogram also allows several non-prof-it organizations to offer importantprograms and services in the com-munity during the summer.
Finally, E&T continues to participateand represent the human resourcedevelopment interests of Kahnawakeat the First Nations Human ResourceDevelopment Commission of Quebec(FNHRDCQ). This alliance is importantto our community as it ensures bothinformational and financial support forthe present and future years in orderto meet our human resource develop-ment needs. This assignment hasbeen enhanced as we have secured aseat on the FNHRDCQ ExecutiveCommittee.
On behalf of the Employment andTraining Unit of Tewatohnhi’saktha, Iwould like to affirm our commitmentto working with our key stakeholdersin the coming year. We are confidentthat we will work productively withthe business community, publicorganizations, and our existing andupcoming workforce in order to con-tinuously provide for ourselves and tomaintain the prosperity and wealth ofKahnawake.

Inthis year alone, our loan guaranteefund has provided security for$910,596 in loans that fifteen com-munity businesses were able toleverage from other financialsources.

Helpdesk SpecialistComputer Support
In September 2006, E&T offered aone-year course in Helpdesk SpecialistComputer Support. Development andimplementation of this program wasbased on labour market studies whichclearly indicated a demand for helpdeskcomputer specialists in the I.T. industry,both within and outside the communi-ty. Additional research established suf-ficient client interest to continue toinvestigate the feasibility of providing acourse for a group of clients, ratherthan individually. To facilitate the learn-ing process for community members,it was decided to deliver the course atTewatohnhi’saktha using our computerroom capabilities.
A suitable service provider wasfound with Champlain College (StLambert) based on their expertiseand reputation within the industry.Champlain College provided the cur-riculum for a one-year intensive pro-gram based on their courses andknowledge of the industry demands,as well as their support structure forstudents.
The goal of this program was to pre-pare students for employment in posi-tions such as Customer SupportSpecialist, Customer Service Technician,Helpdesk Agent, Technician or Specialistand Service Center Analyst. To increaseopportunities for employment, a majorgoal of the program was to preparestudents to complete widely acceptedindustry certifications includingCompTIA’s A+, Microsoft Office Specialist(MOS), Microsoft Certified Professional(MCP), and Helpdesk Analyst.
The selection process was held atTewatohnhi’saktha. Students wereselected based on the criteria estab-lished by Champlain College and inconjunction with E&T. TheKahnawake Education Center provid-ed financial support for two of thestudents as part of their commitmentto this initiative. A total of 12 studentsbegan the intensive program inSeptember 2006. As of the end ofthe fiscal year, 10 are expected tocomplete the program which ends inJuly 2007.
N.U.R.S.E.S. ProjectThe N.U.R.S.E.S. Project entered its
final year with the last group of nursingstudents scheduled to graduate inJune 2007. Overall, 12 individuals suc-cessfully completed the program andplan to begin their Nursing careers. Theproject was Kahnawake’s proactiveresponse to the shortage of nurseswhich existed not only locally butextended provincially and nationally.The combined efforts of E&T, KateriMemorial Hospital Centre and theKahnawake Education Center support-ed community members toward anursing career. Services offeredthrough the N.U.R.S.E.S. Project weredeveloped according to the needs ofthe students and in consultation witheducation experts and nursing gradu-ates from the community.
MOHAWK INTERNET TECHNOLOGIESKyle DelisleCHAIRMANOF THE BOARD OFSUPERVISORS
As Chairman of the Board of Supervisorsof Mohawk Internet Technologies, I am
pleased to be able to provide the communitywith an annual report that reflects verypositively the results of many significantefforts made by the Board and the employ-ees of MIT. As of April 1, 2006, MIT isnow owned 100% by Kahnawá:ke. TheMohawk Council of Kahnawá:ke has givenTewatohnhi’saktha the mandate to overseeKahnawá:ke’s interests in the company. Atthe beginning of the fiscal year, MIT beganconstruction of Phase III in response to cus-tomers’ demands and the expected increasein customers by Continent 8’s Initial PublicOffering (IPO).
However, due to the enactment of theUnlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act(UIGEA) in the United States, and theresulting impact on Continent 8’s decisionnot to pursue the IPO, construction of PhaseIII was halted as the increased demand forMIT’s services did not materialize. However,by the end of this fiscal year, all the serverracks in the main MIT facility were filled tocapacity and the bandwidth usage is almostback to pre-UIGEA levels.

A Budding Careerin Forestry
Kahrakwine McGregor, 18,always dreamed of becoming aforestry conservation officer.
She called uponTewatohnhi’saktha’s Employmentand Training Program for help andthrough the financial aid given,she was able to enroll in anadult education program inChateauguay to complete herhighschool diploma. She is nowlooking to the future and hopesto apply to schools out westthat will help her achieve herdream.
Her first choice is to work inB.C., where she hopes to learnmore about the flora and faunaof the lush west coast forests.“Work hard and don’t give up,”are her words of wisdom toothers trying to get into herfield. “It’s a lot of work andstudying, but it’s important notto give up and to just keepgoing.”
SequoiaSequoia is Michaelee Lazore’s
Native-inspired natural bath andbody products store that openedin 2004 in the Tewatohnhi’sakthaBusiness Complex. Michaeleemakes all of the products herself,that range from hand-madesoaps to bath bombs, candles,lotions, foot products and handproducts.
Last year, she realized that herstore had reached its potential inKahnawake and with the knowledgegained through Tewatohnhi’saktha’sentrepreneurial training course,she decided to jump headfirstinto the urban marketplace ofMontreal. After securing financialaid from Tewatohnhi’saktha YouthBusiness Fund, Michaeleeopened in December 2006 on1428 Mackay Street.
Recently, Tewatohnhi’saktha’ssupport, along with AboriginalBusiness Canada, has enabledher to hire three full time andtwo part time employees. Whileconstruction and renovationare still underway at the newlocation, sales have taken offand the new store is doingvery well.
Xtreme PaintballBlue Cloud and Kanentoton
Lahache have a fierce love forpaintball and they’ve created asuccessful business around theirhobby. They work hard promotingand ameliorating their business,which started out in 2003 asMidtown Paintball, but has mor-phed and changed over time andnow goes by the name XtremePaintball.
With the help of Tewatohnhi’sakthavia entrepreneurial training and inthe form of grants and loans,these two hard workingKahnawa’kehró:non are alreadylooking to expand to six fieldsfrom four after re-launching theirbusiness in 2007.
They attract customers fromaround the south shore and theisland of Montreal. The affordableprice of playing on their field for $35a day and their friendliness keepspeople coming back for more.
Although they do the bulk ofthe work, Tewatohnhi’saktha alsosupplied them with two summerstudents to help them with theday-to-day operations. Theirfuture plans include adding anadministration office and proshop that will be fully operationalby next summer.
Never too lateAt 49 years of age and with
only a high school certificate,Debbie Roberts didn’t always havethe easiest time finding work. Thatchanged when she contactedTewatohnhi’saktha’s Employmentand Training Program last year toget funding for a yearlong accountingcourse at the Nova Career Centrein Chateauguay.
Debbie showed her resilienceand dedication after she caught about of pneumonia during theschool year but continued on,taking the required modules inthe following semester. She isalso planning on taking morecourses to improve her computerskills and further her accounting-based knowledge.
Although Debbie has notsecured a full-time job yet, Two inOne Construction Company hasgiven her notice that once theycomplete the set up of their officeshe will be brought in as theiraccountant to take care of gas taxand payroll, amongst other things.
She is grateful for the supportfrom Tewatohnhi’saktha andencourages people to pursue thesame program she completed –with a few words of advice,“those that are going to take thiscourse should be prepared. Fromday one you’re off and running. It’sreally intense and fast-paced.”
