Declining Statement for position of Chief – by Paul Thompson – 2008 Tribal Election

Letter to the Editor,

I, Paul O. Thompson, of Ahnawate, Akwesasne Mohawk territory, decline to accept the nomination for the position of Chief of the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe.

Although I have previously served this community in the capacity of chief, my decision to stay out the 2008 Tribal Elections comes from conversations with my family, community members, as well as fellow Akwesasne business owners.

I would like to take this time to thank the community members who elected to nominate me, and for the confidence that has again been placed in me by Akweasasronon seeking to have their voices heard and their instructions followed.

Niawen:kowa

Paul O. Thompson
