Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs
[http://www.mohawknation.org]
The official, long-standing indigenous Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs (MNCC) represents the Sovereign Nation of the Mohawk (separate from the US or UK). The Mohawk Nation Council is an ancient democratic government, that was in operation centuries before European contact. The Mohawk Nation and the other member Nations of the Confederacy including the Oneida, Onondaga, Cayauga, Seneca and Tuscarora, have built a government whose principles are based on peace and the participation of its citizens. It is sometimes referred to as a participatory democracy. The Mohawk and other Haudenosaunee Nations consider their government to be a gift of the Creator.

2007-06-18 "Anti-whaling ships to fly First Nations flags" from "CanWest MediaWorks Publications Inc." [http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/story.html?id=2d5e108b-c832-4e6a-afe0-95358b6ce598&k=51740]
After being stripped of registration papers and prohibited from sailing under the Canadian flag earlier this year, two of the world’s best-known ocean warriors found a friendly port of call in the Mohawk community of Kahnawake today.
The Farley Mowat and the Robert Hunter – two ocean-going vessels operated by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Authority, an international anti-whaling group – will travel under a First Nations flag and with registration paper’s signed by one of Kahnawake's three longhouses when they set sail for Antarctica later this year.
At a signing ceremony today, Paul Watson, captain of the Farley Mowat, was presented with the papers for his ship and the Robert Hunter, as well as with two Five Nations Iroquois Confederacy flags, a purple flag with symbols representing the Mohawks, Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca and Cayuga.
Watson said the ships will set sail from Australia for Antarctica in November where the crews will try to prevent Japanese whaling ships from killing whales.
"It's a real honour to have the Mohawk flag flying on these ships," said Stuart Myiow of the Mohawk Traditional Council, the longhouse that drew up the registration papers.

The Mohawk and Iroquois Nations have flagged two anti-whaling ships to sail from Australia to Antarctica in November. My interest in the story has to do with the flags. The ship’s captain was presented the Flag of Five Nations and the Mohawk Nation flag, along with registration papers. The brief article indicates the Canadians stripped their flag from the vessels, but doesn’t tell why. [ ... ] I am not aware of any other ships sailing under the flag of an Indian nation. If you know of any, please let me know.
