Armed guards are staffing a temporary border station at the Seaway International Bridge, the Canadian Border Services Agency said.

The temporary station paved the way for today's reopening of the bridge, which had been shut down for over a month after protests from Mohawks in the U.S. and Canada. Mohawks don't want guards at the border to be armed.

The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne is working with the CBSA in hopes of resolving the dispute. The permanent border station is located on Mohawk land but will remain closed.

"We are still in discussions in finding a long-term, viable solution, CBSA spokesperson Patrizia Giolti told The Watertown Daily Times.

The St. Regis Mohawk Tribe in New York has said it lost millions of dollars in gaming and other revenues due to the bridge closure.
