An Ontario judge is expected to rule Tuesday whether an injunction should be enforced against First Nations protesters occupying a housing construction site near Caledonia.
法官正在考虑需要不需要颁布相应法令来阻止印第安人占领开发商的建筑工地。
Judge David Marshall will decide on the injunction after tension escalated over the long weekend between Caledonia residents and the Six Nations demonstrators at the Douglas Creek Estates.
Violence broke out late Sunday, with some residents and demonstrators throwing rocks and golf balls at each other. Police said tensions had been building during the day, with several small incidents leading to the incident.
因为印第安人的占据，引发暴力。最近的周日，一些居民与印第安人相互投掷石头。
Resident Steve Tong said the demonstrators erected a new camp close to the neighbourhood, lit a fire and set up two warrior flags.
Six Nations spokeswoman Janie Jamieson blamed the residents for the violence, saying they want to influence the judge's decision.
Tong said the incident was the result of long simmering tensions. He said residents think the demonstrators have been holding Caledonia hostage by occupying the site.
The occupation began on Feb. 28 by demonstrators who say the land was taken from natives about 200 years ago. The province has bought the plot of land containing the site, which includes some half-finished homes.
The protesters initially set up barricades of burning tires, which were later removed. Residents have said they are still fearful because of the ongoing occupation.

Six Nations natives and developer Henco Industries are involved in a land dispute over a 40-hectare tract near Hamilton, Ont. Here is a history of the land in question:
1784:
For its loyalty to the British Crown during the American Revolution, the Six Nations is allowed to "take possession of and settle" a strip of land nearly 20 kilometres wide along the Grand River, from its source to Lake Erie, totaling about 385,000 hectares.
Henco Industries now says the so-called "Haldimand Grant" (named after the commander of the British forces) was merely a licence to occupy the lands, with legal title remaining with the Crown. Six Nations dispute that claim.
1924:
Under the Indian Act, the Canadian government establishes an elected government on the reserve.
1992:
Henco Industries Ltd. purchases a company that owned 40 hectares of what it would later call the Douglas Creek Estates lands.
1995:
The Six Nations sue the federal and provincial governments over the land. The developer calls it "an accounting claim" for "all assets which were not received but ought to have been received, managed or held by the Crown for the benefit of the Six Nations."
July 2005:
The subdivision plan for Douglas Creek Estates is registered with title to the property guaranteed by the province of Ontario.
Feb. 28, 2006:
A group of Six Nations members takes over the housing project, erecting tents, a teepee and a wooden building.
