by Luke Stewart
from Toronto Media Coop

On 27 February 2011, over one hundred Six Nations solidarity activists gathered to hold a truth and reconciliation rally and celebrate the fifth anniversary of the reclamation of Kanonhstaton (the Douglas Creek Estates) by people of the Six Nations on 28 February 2006. Coinciding with the solidarity celebration was the counter “truth and reconciliation”[1] rally held by Canadian Advocates for Charter Equality (CANACE).

Friday March 4th 2011 - We review some cops being naughty and a callout for a March 15th response to this bad behaviour. We also have a preview of Israeli Apartheid Week, and have a report back from the 5 year anniversary of the reclamation of Kanonhstaton by Six Nations land defenders near Caledonia.

Today, February 28 2011, is the 5th year anniversary of the land reclamation at Kanonhstaton in Caledonia, Ontario. Yesterday, solidarity activists and and local residents were asked by members of Six Nations to be present to help protect this land from bitter, over-colonized settlers. The Freudian aim of these settlers was to erect a monument on the reclaimed land asking for an apology from Six Nations, the Ontario Provincial Police and the Ontario Provincial Government for what they call 'unfair treatment of white residents during the occupation.'
