KAHNESATAKE, QUE. -- Demonstrators burned a house, torched a car, blocked a highway and occupied a police station last night to protest the firing of the police chief in this Mohawk community. Grand Chief James Gabriel, who has reportedly received threats after seeking a tougher stand on crime on the reserve, left the community shortly after his house and car were destroyed by fire. No one was in the house at the time of the fire and there were no injuries

I have supported that band in their actions in the past...but this time t's their band council's decision. It puts a different spin on things for me.
 
It's gonna be another mess, bad PR all around, and people will start questioning native rights again......
