“There is heavy police presence in Deseronto, Ont., near Belleville, after an escalating land dispute in eastern Ontario calmed following a heated confrontation between native protesters and police. Members of the Mohawk First Nation who live on a reserve in the area occupied a chunk of disputed land Monday morning and refused to co-operate with police who asked them to leave when they arrived to remove a barricade blocking the road. Natives occupying the area say they are protesting in an effort to halt plans to develop land, which they say belongs to them.” (04/28/08)
