AMERICAN INDIANS.
OUSTED EROM RESERVATION. [A. and N. Z. Cable Association] OTTAWA, May 13. A serious situation has arisen at the Six Nations Indian reservation at Brantford (Ontario) as the result of the Government ousting Indian squatters from reservation lands, which the Government has reserved for ex-service men. Indian chiefs who travelled to England io seek the King, were told by Mr Winston Churchill that the matter was completely in the Canadian Government’s hands. Canadian Court officers who attempted to oust squatters barely escaped with their lives. The Indians show an ancient deed purporting to give them complete right over the reservation. ?\lr Stewart, Minister of the Interior, is due to arrive at Brantford to hold a meeting at which the Indians will receive a hearing.
