"After close to two years of negotiations Mohawks living on the south shore of Montreal have signed an agreement with the government of Quebec. But Ottawa fears the deal may go too far.
The deal, signed Tuesday, gives the Mohawks of Kahnawake greater jurisdiction in some areas and deals with a wide range of issues including the payment of provincial sales tax.
Under the deal Mohawks will not have to pay provincial sales tax on the goods they purchase off the reserve. Quebec and the Mohawks want Ottawa to do the same with its sales tax.
But the federal government is angry because it was not consulted and it fears native groups in other provinces might now ask for the same concession. Ottawa hasn't decided how it will react.
Other parts of the deal give the Mohawks control over the sale of alcohol and tobacco, increase the areas of jurisdiction of the Mohawk municipal court and offer compensation for the provincial roads which cross the reserve.
Quebec will also allow a type of fighting known as Extreme Combat to be held on the reserve.
Band Chief Joe Norton calls the deal a historic agreement which will lead to a new relationship between Quebecers and the Mohawks of Kanhawake. "
