This roots of this dispute stretch back to 1784, before present-day Ontario existed, when Canada was a colony. If there was a simple answer it would have been settled long ago.

Nope. It's an internal dispute between elected band council and a small group of people who claim to be hereditary leaders. The current issues stem from the fact that Joseph Brant -- who, incidentally, was a slave owner -- sold off much of the land as he saw fit. The government of the time was actually opposed to this but they had limited powers to deal with this. These "disputes" are for lands they lost but that won't stop them from claiming it was robbed from them and that it's still rightfully theirs. There can't be but a few score people who objectively understand the history of Upper Canada. Most people will accept the lies Six Nations "activists" tell and their ally media promote without question.
And why should we believe your version of events?
Are you a history professor, with access to original documents? A student with a master's thesis full of references you can share with us?
An amateur history enthusiast with a bibliography?
Anything?
Hello?
The band chief and council is a structure set up by the Department of Indian Affairs to deal with issues on the reservation. It has no jurisdiction over the band's traditional territories. http://www.firstnationsdrum.com/2019/02/the-complicated-history-of-hereditary-chiefs-and-elected-councils/
Yeah, I actually have researched it. More than enough information is available online if you know where to look for it, which I doubt you do. Don't you get tire fo being stupid?
What is it about the .win communities that it is so hard to get anyone to back up their opinions? The tangled history of the federal and provincial governments' relationships with the First Nations is well documented in the courts and the history books. I gave you two links bearing upon the issues and now I'm suggesting you read the relevant chapters of Thomas Berger's book "One Man's Justice" - they will give you some background on some of the fundamental issues as they played out in provincial and Canadian courts. And played out in the First Nations' favour.
And all you have is "You're too stupid".
As though you have nothing but opinions that you can't support.
