Interesting NY Times article, too long to paste.

"Here on Mohawk land, a reservation of roughly 6,000 people on the United States side, according to the tribe, investigators estimate that 10 to 15 major Indian criminal organizations, along with outside drug rings, move more than $1 billion annually in high-grade marijuana and Ecstasy across the Canadian border, through the reservation and into the Northeast. Prosecutors say they are catching only about 2 percent of that contraband."
When will this all come to a head? Looks as if the US is going to deal with the problem, I wonder how and if Canada will? Since 1990 criminals and organized crime have had free reign on the Mohawk reserves.
