Nine protesters arrested in Caledonia standoff (Ontario)
Updated Wed. Sep. 19 2007 8:20 PM ET

The Canadian Press

CALEDONIA, Ont. -- Ontario Provincial Police have arrested nine protesters at the site of an aboriginal demonstration at a housing development in Caledonia, Ont.

Six Nations protesters have been occupying the site since last week, claiming the land is theirs ...

The aboriginals were given the land in 1784 by the British Crown, but Ottawa says most of it was surrendered or sold by 1850.

The protesters claim the land was never surrendered.

Along with some other rather shameful bits in our history.
