Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe

The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe (SRMT), in partnership with its Tribal Courts, Akwesasne Library, Tribal Clerk, General Counsel’s Office, Education Division, Kanien’keha Language Program, and the Tribal Historic Preservation Office and Records Department will contract with Open Law Library to create a digital law library to improve access to SRMT tribal laws. The project includes creating a satellite law library at the SRMT Tribal Courts for use by Judges, Court Personnel, and litigants. Funds will also provide legal research training to the Akwesasne Library staff so they can assist the public, including self-represented litigants. Additionally, kiosks will be installed for use by those without internet to access digital legal materials. The project will benefit the SRMT tribal government and Akwesasne community members.
