Akwesasne-'Lil Nikki' Prefers POSITIVE TICKET Over Taser

"Lil' Nikki" - Akwasasne Mohawk School Police Officer, Constable Nicole Miller, explains the 'Positive Ticket' program she runs with the local youth. Youth are rewarded for positive acts of kindness with 'tickets' issued by the police. When the kids collect so many tickets they are eligible for a prize of an iPod!

Lil Nikki stresses that her most effective 'weapon' as a police officer is her communication skills, and that she carries her firearm and a taser as a last resort.

Akwesasne is lucky to have a dedicated youth officer like 'Lil' Nikki'. They are also lucky to have dedicated community members like Reen Dick and Mel Back. (see below)

Lil Nikki works alongside community members like Melerena Back from the St Regis Mohawk Tribe. 'Mel' operates an alcohol/chemical dependency prevention and intervention program, and is extremely committed to making her community strong and safe. Programs like Mel's are extremely important, not just in small communities, but in larger centres in Canada, where services like these are traditionally underfunded and under valued. For more information on Mel's program, contact her at 518-358-2967 or by e-mail mel.back@srmt-nsn.gov

Nice Job Nikki. Too much EZ money on the REZ and too many bad people has stifled the culture and given a bad name to the Native people. Thanks for being a great role model and helping the kids stay on a positive path.

Under Signature, write UNDER DURESS AND PROTEST. Bam nothing they can do

[purplekushpro]

She is so brain washed by these white mans laws. How can you claim to be Part of the Mohawk but yet your standing under white mans laws and rules. REMEMBER MY NATIVES YOUR FROM A WHOLE OTHER NATION. We are not of their laws or their jurisdiction if you do not CONSENT TO IT. They need your CONSENT to do anything, i mean anything, IF YOU SAY I DO NOT CONSENT, I WAVE YOUR BENEFIT PRIVILEGE. They are powerless with those words, and if they want you to sign anything, under your signature write,

[AkwesasneWoman]

yeah yeah yeah, half of the AKWARDS all raid cigs on the rez, but never even give tickets for it! So i wonder what they did with them?? Hahahaha!!! Crooked Cops are more common than everyone thinks! I wouldn't want my son to have a mentor like any of these hypocrites! When you seize contraband, you have to issue tickets, right? I seen it with my own eyes, 3 times too many! Take you're lies and tell them ELSEWHERE!
