Clash

Native people came into conflict with OPP today in the community of Caledonia, south of Hamilton. The reason is a land which is claimed by Six Nations people and is said has been given to them 200 years ago. The Federal Government and some provincial government are still in negotiation with aboriginal people over several land disputes. A few months ago a deal was reached with a group of oboriginal people over a land which a dam is going to be constructed in near future. Oboriginal people say police used force to take them out from a land which is going to be constructed by white people.
