Natives Maintaining their Racial Purity

by Rod Edwards on February 3, 2010

…by evicting non-natives from the Quebec reserve of Kahnawake. Specifically, they appear to be evicting 25 boyfriends & girlfriends of band members, who according to the community of 7,500, are a threat to their culture. 25 out of 7,500 – that’s a third of a percent – 0.33%.

Question 1: Is the Mohawk culture that vulnerable? Question 2: Is evicting other races really the best way to protect it? Question 3: Is there more story to what looks like a simply bizarre move?
