25 years ago, this September, a long simmering dispute over First Nations\u2019 territory in Southwestern Ontario turned deadly when police shot and killed an unarmed protestor.\xa0Dudley George was among a group of protestors who occupied Ipperwash Provincial Park to assert their claim to the land they believed contained sacred burial grounds.\xa0\nOn the night of September 6th, 1995, heavily armed police officers marched up a dark road toward the park to confront the protestors.\xa0Within 30 minutes a band councillor was severely beaten by police and George was dead.\nOn this episode of History of the 90s we look back at the confrontation that has become known as the Ipperwash Crisis, and the years long search for justice and answers that followed.\nContact:\xa0\nTwitter: @1990shistory\nFacebook: @1990shistory\nInstagram: @that90spodcast\nEmail:\xa090s@curiouscast.ca\nGuests:\nMonica Virtue, Researcher and Filmmaker\nhttps://monicavirtue.com/\nTwitter: @VirtueintheCity\nPeter Edwards, author of One Dead Indian\nhttps://peteredwardsauthor.com/\nFor exclusive bonus content subscribe to History of the 90s Patreon page.: https://patreon.com/historyofthe90s\nLearn more about your ad choices.
