Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory is now, officially, getting some land back. © Jean-Francois Benoit/CBC Jerome Barnhard, left, and Mario Baptiste say they oppose the band council receiving the land. Baptiste pointed to low voter turnout in the ratification and accused the band council of leaving out traditional government supporters. The MBQ filed a specific claim — a type of land claim that addresses allegations of land theft or treaty violations — over the Culbertson Tract in 1995, but the claim wasn't accepted for negotiation until 2003. "I'd like to see the specific land claim process reformed," Nancy Kimmett said.
