Indigenous demonstration forces closure of the Pinery


A group of indigenous demonstrators has forced the closure of the Pinery — an Ontario park on the shores of Lake Huron — with police saying the action is connected to an ongoing land claim. "This all stems from a land claim issue that is now before the courts," OPP Sgt. Park officials tweeted that the demonstrators claim the park is "rightfully theirs." It is also not far from Camp Ipperwash, where a land claim demonstration turned deadly in 1995. In 2004, then Ontario attorney general Michael Bryant told the legislature that George's claim was "an individual grievance" and not a land claim.
