This fight was born in 2006, in the desperation of the McGuinty government to make the mess go away without offending the indigenous community and at whatever cost
Now, these negotiations, as with much else, were done in secrecy, so it’s not clear to whom Peterson, a Liberal mediator, promised the lands.
But the Haudenosaunee says it was them, and they did have the native lead in negotiations for about three years.
At the end of March this year, the Ontario government transferred the land, not to the HCCC, but to the Six Nations council.
So this is an internecine fight, with the town and townspeople having no dog in the race.
