RE: Encounter with corporate representative and reach of constitutional representation

Dear Occupant,

I recently had the opportunity to meet face-to-face with many council-persons, most recently Dave Neumann and I had
the chance to briefly discuss councils representation among other important subjects.

During our short discussion Mr. Neumann claimed that He was my Councillor, I immediately took exceptions to Mr.
Neumann's claim, I asked Mr. Neumann if he as a Canadian citizen can represent a Kanienke'haka (Mohawk).

The Association has developed a shortlist of questions that we would like the CEO of the Corporation of the City of
Brantford to respond to. These answers are critical in developing an understanding of the nature and limits of your official
representation.

1. Does the Office of Mayor and/or Council of the Corporation of the City of Brantford represent Kanienke'haka
(Mohawk).
2. Do Kanienke'haka (Mohawk) Qualify to vote or become elected in the municipal elections.

I would like to arrange an appointment to discuss some common concerns and new ideas.

Please would you indicate a suitable time and place to meet?
