"Take a quick survey of the northeast corner of St. Lawrence County and the northwest corner of Franklin County, and one would see and hear from residents that the only real economic activity that is taking place these days is happening on our reservation.
Much of this activity is directly related to the success of our Akwesasne Mohawk Casino and the activities that spin off from it.
Reservation residents are still buying cars and other high-ticket items. Homes are being built, businesses are expanding and hiring, and people are working. Until now, the tribal government has been doing its best to keep our economy growing and healthy, but this may no longer be the case."
