After a year of relative peace, we have received word from what would have been the developer at Landback Lane. They intend to reapply for their injunction.

We are taking this very seriously. We see it as an open threat against our people and our lands. The violence they can wield with the help of the courts and cops is disgusting.

On March 22 Foxgate will be looking to schedule a time with the court to have this process restarted. This same process led to 50 people being arrested, saw us get shot at, tasered and beaten. We watched as our loved ones dragged were from their cars, swarmed with brutality

This has been an outright failure, when it comes to the federal or provincial governments coming to the table with anything that looks like gaining the consent of our nations.

There is a path toward peace. Courts, cops, guns and jails are not it.

We have done what we can to replenish the land. We have planted trees and gardens with the help of so many. This is Haudenosaunee land and it will remain that for our future generations. #landback #1492LandBackLane
