A hastily convened Longhouse meeting took place Friday between native Confederacy chiefs and Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Julian Fantino.
Fantino seemed to warn Confederacy leaders about the implications of the injunction the City of Brantford is trying to obtain in court this month.
"He said if an injunction comes down, the OPP will have to follow it and make arrests," said a native person who attended the meeting but asked not to be identified in print.
Two OPP lawyers also appeared at the first hearing of the injunction in Brantford court on Friday, even though the city's injunction doesn't apply to land policed by the OPP.
When Fantino left the native longhouse, he found someone had put a native Warrior sticker on his vehicle, which he stopped to remove.
In an interview earlier this week, Fantino said the OPP are looking into the fees being charged by the Haudenosaunee Development Institute, which is demanding payments from developers. Fantino said those fees are just one of a number of delicate matters the OPP is reluctantly handling.
