Default Ipperwash, part 2

Further to this thread, to those who haven't dozed off yet, is the following fact sheet:

Dudley George was misrepresented as of the tribe Potawamatie, not Chippewa as depicted. Another George, Glenn, was in fact Potawamatie.

Many of the indians (note the small "i") who occupied the Ipperwash Provincial Park were, like George, Amer-Indian activists.

The docu-dramas portrayal of the natives not having been armed is pure bullshit. There were two video clips on TV during this time, from a native woman, who said that the natives at Ipperwash have more weapons than all of the police and military combined. Indeed: witness Oka.

The rest of the thugs were Stony Pointers. This band is not the same band from whom the Federal government expropriated land in 1942 in order to set up a training base (with the contractual agreement that the area would be returned when the military requirement was no longer needed) That band was the Kettle and Stony Point Indian Band. Note the difference in spelling.

I'm really surprised at CTV airing this clap trap which I would expect from CBC.
