Talk:Grand River land dispute

October 15th
New to this so please correct me if I'm wrong to do this. I changed the information to reflect that the protest March did indeed reach the border of the site. "Near by school" does not reflect the geography of the area. In terms of citations I will look for a news article that actually reflects this information. Not sure if a personal "I was there" is good enough. I also added "Confederacy" as a further clarification between the traditional Confederacy council and the Six Nations Band Council. This difference is an important aspect of this dispute. Waldenesque

the "caledonia wake up call" reference at the bottom!
I feel like we need to specify the angles these sites are taking. Like this one says on it:

"We, my wife and I, are two concerned citizens who have become involved for 3 reasons."

The third reason is: "The Absolute willingness on the part of Native People to commit crimes and to do violence against others."

I feel like this is problematic if it doesn't have a disclaimer...

Bias in news coverage
Obviously unavoidable, but while replacing citations I noted some parts of the Douglas Creek Estates section were copy pasted from CBC. It should be obvious to all that CBC's coverage now but even more blatantly 20 years ago was biased against Six Nations protesters. I cited Blatchford's biased book in conjunction with other sources, rather than stand alone. Please keep in mind that this book is only valuable to the extent that it provides rich first hand accounts of settlers in Caledonia. Please take care to find sources from both settler and Indigenous perspectives. 17dsrd (talk) 01:07, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The CBC might not fit your political bias, but is considered a reliable source. Alaney2k (talk) 14:02, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry I should have said it is racist, not biased. Certainly it is reliable, but editors should be mindful that a publication from nearly a decade ago might use derogatory language that is no longer acceptable in Canadian media. My concern was the copy-pasting of exact text from CBC articles without quotations and how it reflects a now unacceptable racial bias. 17dsrd (talk) 21:14, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
