Six Nations Land Repossession and Resistance

A speech given in Montreal by Jacqueline House, a representative of Six Nations.

This is a speech given by Jacqueline House, a representative of Six Nations, at an event in Montreal. The event was called "Six Nations: Land Repossession and Resistance", and was held on August 31, 2006, at the Native Friendship Center of Montreal. It was organized by the Indigenous Peoples Solidarity Movement (IPSM).

Jacqueline House is one of the women to first reposess what was to be "Douglas Creek Estates". She is also one of the spokespersons for what is now Kanehstaton (the Protected Place).

Background on Kanehstaton:
On February 28th, 2006, the Haudenosaunee people of Six Nations stood up against further confiscation of their land and set up a camp on a housing development construction site located adjacent to Caledonia, Ontario. Six months later, the people of Six Nations, accompanied by Onkwehonweh people from across Turtle Island, have successfully maintained a presence on the land , confronting, all at once, Canadian colonialism, the criminalization of indigenous resistance and vile settler racism.
