thats 1 indian reservation
the akwesasne insist
in 2 countries & 2 provinces & 1 state

so the mohawks have the international tripoint version at nyonqc of
what the mojaves have here at azcanv & the navajos have at aznmut
within the 4 corners

nyonqc however is a much more challenging point to make
even with the help of the ice
because there are so many different versions of it

in fact
from the looks of all the different map depictions i have seen
i dont think anybody really knows exactly where it is yet

i believe the problem is the river used to be federal territory in
canada til about 1990
& i dont believe its allocation to the provinces has been adequately
defined here yet

indeed i would like to see something really authoritative on this
