Turtle Island News reported on May 23, 2007, that the Federal Government of Canada would be making an announcement, regarding an offer to Six Nations. This announcement was expected on May 30, 2007. The offer is to settle two outstanding land claims and would involve cash, but not necessarily land.
Is the timing of the offer and the statement that more progress needs to be made by the end of June just a coincidence? Remember that some natives are calling for a Canada wide blockade of rail lines and roads on June 29, 2007.
Is the offer of cash, and not necessarily any land, the amount of cash which is unknown at this time, meant to appease the natives in the hopes that perhaps they will not go ahead with the June 29th plan to block rail and road traffic across Canada?
