-- TORONTO -- Federal and provincial negotiators have walked away from negotiations to end an aboriginal occupation in Caledonia, Ont., to protest another occupation in nearby Hagersville.

The Six Nations say the land was awarded to them in 1784 in recognition of their help to the British Crown during the American Revolution.
I just wish someone could tell me why laws and agreements in force before the late 1800's are sacred... but anything since then is the white mans racist oppression.
