Petition to the House of Commons
- The Haudenosaunee people have a well-documented claim to the 1784 Haldimand Tract, a treaty between the Haudenosaunee and the British Crown on 950,000 acres of land, running six miles on each side of the Grand River, from its mouth to its source;
- Unresolved land claims at Six Nations Territory have existed since 1982;
- Structural racism entrenched in our courts and law enforcement have resulted in the discriminatory use of laws to target, harass, and intimidate land defenders; and
- Land defenders have been defamed as “terrorists” for protecting their lands in an effort to ensure future generations have access their ancestral lands and territories.
