The real reason...

Aboriginal land claims take years and years to hammer out...
Calling the federal government's policy "unacceptable to the Mohawk nation," the Chief of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte has halted negotiations into the Culbertson Tract land claim.

R. Donald Maracle told The Intelligencer Wednesday his band has arranged an emergency meeting with Indian and Northern Affairs Minister Chuck Strahl next week to voice its displeasure over how the claim is unfolding.
Hot on the heels of the Mohawks pulling out of the Caledonia negotiations.

Oh, the wily white man.
