It seems that land disputes among native Indians in Canada are becoming more hot these days.  Perhaps because land - as a precious resource - is fast becoming a limited commodity, or, perhaps it is because the race to put up more casinos on reservation land is becoming more competitive.  With reservation casinos being the lucrative industry it has become, claims to land is a serious concern to gaming authorities.

The latest drama to unfold in Canada was at the Brantford Charity Casino, located in Brantford, Ontario.  Native Indians have begun to protest outside of the casino, claiming the land it stands upon was not given to the Canadian government by the Six Nations people.  Claiming the land was neither sold or ceded to Canada, Six Nations delegates also met with Canadian Federal officials to make their claim, and show they are going to fight for the land.

Picketers stood outside the Brantford Casino, which sits along the Grand River, southwest of Lake Ontario and Niagra Falls.  The casino itself offers over five-hundred slot machines accepting denominations between nickels and $5, fifty-five different classic casino table games taking stakes from $5 to $100 per bet.

Indeed, it is certain that lots of money is going into Brantford Casino (which is categorized as a charity casino, rather than a commercial casino), and the Six Nations people feel they are entitled to the money that Canada has been receiving at their expense - their stolen land.
