Brantford, Ontario has become ground zero in the struggle over Indigenous
rights in Ontario. Most of the city is under land claim, but instead of
halting development until the status of the disputed land can be
negotiated, Brantford city council is carrying out an aggressive policy of
encouraging the criminalization of Six Nations land defenders. Since 2006,
when protests in nearby Caledonia erupted, over 60 people from Six Nations
have faced more than 160 criminal charges as they have tried to peacefully
stop illegal developments from taking place on their lands.

Allies and supporters of Six Nations are standing up and bringing pressure
to bear on governments and institutions in order to demand that they
respect and honour the treaties and agreements made with Indigenous
nations. The Six Nations Solidarity Network — a group made up of
non-native activists from communities in and beside the Haldimand tract -
conducted an education march in Brantford on Saturday, Nov 7th 2009, that
visited a number of significant locations involved in the native land
rights struggle.
