 Compare and Contrast Oka, Ipperwash and Caledonia Caledonia was a land dispute over 40 hectors which was to be developed into a residential subdivisions known as the Douglas Creek Estates. On February 28th 2006 a group of from the Six Nations reserve started to protest. There were several out brakes of violence especially with the Six Nations people and the citizens on Caledonia where several people were arrested. A barricade was put up and removed several time by natives due to certain events a courses of action. The Oka Crisis was a land dispute between the Mohawk and the Town of Oka over a golf course. A golf course was to be extended from 9 to 18 holes but the area that the golf course was to be extend into, the Mohawks claimed to be their sacred land. The Mohawks decided to take up arms in the woods where the golf course was to be extended. The Mohawks blocked of the rode and later several highways. There was only one shoot off which resulted in one death. After 78 days the Mohawks came out of the woods and surrendered. The planes to extend the gold course were cancelled. Even though all three events involved different native groups all three of these events share a common goal, to defend native rights and land. Sadly all three events resulted in violence that resulted in deaths or major injuries. There was not a single situation where the native communities gave up easily they all fought till they no longer could.
