----------

Background on Kanehstaton:
On February 28th, 2006, the Haudenosaunee people of Six Nations stood
up against further confiscation of their land and set up a camp on a
housing development construction site located adjacent to Caledonia,
Ontario. Six months later, the people of Six Nations, accompanied by
Onkwehonweh people from across Turtle Island, have successfully
maintained a presence on the land , confronting, all at once, Canadian
colonialism, the criminalization of indigenous resistance and vile
settler racism.
