APRIL 16, 2001 New York State Police are worried some members of the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe will aid activists who plan on protesting the upcoming Summit of the Americas Conference in Quebec City, Canada. The three-day conference starts on Friday and leaders from all heads of state in the Western Hemisphere (except Fidel Castro of Cuba) have been invited to discuss trade. Widespread protests are expected there but also along the US-Canada border should the Canadian government refuse entrance to political activists. An organizer of a group called Plattsburgh Action Network said members of the tribe will help funnel activists to the Canada via the reservation, which sits on the border. Authorities will be stepping up efforts on the reservation. Tribal authorities have been cooperating with US and Canadian officials on the issue. Get the Story:
