A group of disenchanted Mohawk families are leaving this reserve to start a new community on land bought in New York state.

In September approximately 15 families plan to move to a parcel of land along the Mohawk River Valley, 73 kilometres northwest of Albany, New York. The land is traditional Mohawk territory and the group view the move as the fulfillment of a prophesy they would return to their homeland, said Tom Porter, group leader.
