I've added the website "Caledonia Wake-up Call". There are a few links from the Native perspective, it only seems fair to balance that with a non-native account [sorry, unable to sign in]
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
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...
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)
