Please address the threats of violence that Caledonia citizens and their supporters are posing against the peaceful land reclamation taken by the people of Six Nations. The Canadian government must uphold its responsibilities and return full title of Kanonhstaton (the Douglas Creek Estates) to the people of Six Nations. The Government of Canada must address land claims put forward by First Nations communities. In order to resolve the outstanding land claims concerning the Onkwehonweh land (Haldimand Tract), full negotiations with the Six Nations people, on a nation-to-nation basis, must proceed immediately. Hazel Hill, spokesperson for Six Nations, has stated:

"We didn't create the situation. We are only trying to rectify it, for our children and future generations. We have taken action and have reclaimed land that is rightfully ours. We are there in Peace, and have been since February 28th… Will Canada allow the hatred and violent displays of racism of its citizens to continue and possibly create another Ipperwash, or will it use the lessons of the past to ensure that the violence stops and admit to their citizens that it is through their own actions and abuse of assumed power that we are in this situation today?"

You must consider these words carefully and take action to ensure a just resolution to this issue in a swift and fair manner.

Sincerely,
