Caledonia land dispute

The Caledonia land dispute involves Indigenous Six Nations, also called the Haudenosaunee, seeking recognition of their land rights in Ontario, Canada. They claim ancestral land was unfairly taken during past colonial and governmental actions. The dispute intensified with protests and blockades, notably in 2006, over construction projects seen as encroaching on their territory. The core issue is respecting agreements and customary rights, aiming for negotiation and resolution that honor Indigenous sovereignty while balancing development needs.
