| Summary On April 6, 2006 Six Nations People were fed up and blocked railways and roads. Fighting to keep the government and developers from taking what little land they have left. Natives protesters claim that they land was a grant dated back to 1784. The government believes that the land was surrendered over for the construction of high way 6. Both protesters and government want it to be civil and not violent, setting up road, rail blockades. As time goes patience is running out. Acts of vandalism are rising, such as fires, and destruction of a major power tower. Leaving thousands with out power. Also stopping repair crews to reach the tour. Negotiations have been discussed but no conclusion yet.
