Brantford Developer Told to Stop or be Occupied

August 28, 2007

A Brantford developer who is developing land along Grand River Avenue in Brantford has been ordered to stop all development by Six Nations natives or face occupation of his land.

The order from Six Nations came on Thursday, August 23, 2007. The developer, who is developing houses in a residential area was ordered by Six Nations to stop the construction of all housing units.

On Friday, August 24, 6 members of Six Nations came to the site and told the developer that if he did not stop all building they would send 20 to 30 natives to occupy his land stating he had no right to do any development as the land did not belong to him. Six Nations claims it is their land.

He contacted the police and the government, but was told to wait until after the Confederacy meeting on Saturday to see what the outcome of that would be.
