Standing Tall

Trevor Miller, a Mohawk man, arrested during the stand-off in Caledonia, refuses to acknowledge to jurisdiction of Canadian courts over him.

Meanwhile, On the Barricades...

Fat, white Canadian computer programmer leads protest against "mean ol' Indians" who have mildly inconvenienced him with all their whining about "stolen land" and "treaties." Vows neverending vigil until the Canadian government calls in the Army or the donuts run out, whichever comes first.

The Long Haul

Six Nations protestors who are re-occupying Native land near Caledonia, Ontario, are making preparations to continue their vigil through the winter. See previous posts on this subject here and here.

Things Get Ugly

Six Nations protestors (rather quaintly referred to as "aboriginals" by the Toronto Sun) were attacked by local white residents, who also roughed-up former Ontario Premier David Peterson, who has been acting as a mediator in the dispute over lands granted to the Six Nations by King George III as a reward for their service to the crown during the American Revolution.

SIX NATIONS FIGHT BACK!

Members of the Six Nations (the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, more popularly known as the Iroquois League, ancestors of the Cherokee) are reclaiming Native land in Ontario, Canada, to protest white development on land that was awarded to the tribes by the British Crown in 1784 as a reward for service in the American Revolution.
The standoff has reunited, at least temporarily, peoples who were divided when the Canadian government tried to replace the tribal government in 1924. The Iroquois League, consisting of the Mohawk, Seneca, Cayuga, Onandaga, Oneida, and later the Tuscarora tribes, inspired the US Constitution with its governing law, the Gayanashagowa or "Great Law of Peace."
