Wikipedia: Starting in February 2006, community members from Six Nations occupied the site of the proposed development, which they named in Mohawk Kanonhstaton ([ganũhˈsdaːdũ], English: "the protected place"). Direct action on the part of protesters over the years included blockade of roads and rail lines, damage to a power station resulting in an area blackout and more than $1 million in repairs, and low levels of violence from both sides, as well as isolated, more serious attacks. Haudenosaunee land claims in the area date back to the 1784 Halimand Proclamation. This particular occupation was in opposition to Douglas Creek Estates, a proposed subdivision to be built without Haudenosaunee permission on unceded lands. Leaders included Jamie Jamieson and Dawn Hill.
