The blockade came down shortly after two demonstrators – an aboriginal and a non-native – crossed the 300-metre span between the two blockades.

The men, who carried a lilac branch symbolizing an olive branch, told police and the non-native group that their blockade would come down immediately and that the road would be opened.

"I can understand the frustration. We've got to start loving our neighbours," said the unidentified non-native man

Sandra Muse, editor of the Tekawennake News, a Six Nations reserve newspaper, said aboriginal demonstrators made the move to dampen down the tension that has boiled over in the land claim dispute.
