Turmoil at Reclamation site. Fight, fires break out

Turtle Island News

Reclamation site supporters rushed to put out bales of hay that were set on fire at the site Monday night, by a group of youths that sources said have virtually “taken over the site,” despite concerns raised by adult supporters of the land reclamation.

Monday’s fire is just one in a series of incidents that have caused long time adult supporters to leave as clanmothers are unable to control youth at the site.

In addition to the fire, a young man is recovering from neck injuries after he was struck with a crowbar during an internal scuffle at the land reclamation site last Tuesday.

Monday night OPP contacted Reclamation adult supporters when shortly after 8 p.m. a fire was spotted on the site.

One site supporter said the young men set the bales on fire because, “the OPP were looking at us.”
