Background on Kanehstaton:

On February 28th, 2006, the Haudonosaunee people of Six Nations stood up
against further confiscation of their land and set up a camp on a housing
development construction site located adjacent to Caledonia, Ontario. Six
Months later, the people of Six Nations, accompagnied by Onkehonweh people
from across Turtle Island, have successfully maintained a presence on the
land - confronting, all at once, Canadian colonialism, criminalisation of
peaceful indigenous resistance and vile settler racism.
