“It’s time for the politically incorrect truth to be told.”

John Hagopian goes, for the Hamilton Spectator, where other mainstream outlets have feared to tread – the legal facts of Caledonia;

In short, the Six Nations have no legal rights to the lands in question, and have had none for over a century.
They have never had any rights to land in Ontario by virtue of aboriginal title or by treaty. For a tract of land along the Grand River, they obtained in 1784 merely an occupancy permit from British colonial Governor Frederick Haldimand that endured only at the pleasure of the Crown. After 1784, the Six Nations surrendered to the Crown various portions of the Grand River tract, and by the middle of the 19th century all that remained was the land contained in the current Six Nations reserve south of Brantford. That is a summary of their legal rights.

Then, he tackles the mythology.
