Why is Ontario planning to transfer ownership of the Burtch property to the Haudenosaunee/Six Nations?
In April 2006, Ontario agreed that the former provincial correctional centre, known as the Burtch property, would be transferred to the Haudenosaunee/Six Nations, as part of the settlement of Six Nations’ grievances. The Haudenosaunee/Six Nations had previously expressed an interest in acquiring this particular property. Transferring this land to the Haudenosaunee/Six Nations is a step towards a peaceful settlement of their outstanding grievances.
