Prof. Darlene Johnston highly sought after for expertise on native land claims

Prof. Darlene Johnston, specialist in First Nations issues, has been highly sought after recently with regard to the disputed land at the heart of the continuing native occupation in Caledonia, Southwestern Ontario. 

On April 22, Professor Johnston stated in the Montreal Gazette: "I don't think it's clear cut.  I think the fact there's been land claims research done for 30 years, and a case filed in the court more than a decade ago, shows it's not frivolous."

Professor Johnston is quoted extensively in the Globe and Mail story "Iroquois have unique history on their side, professor says" (April 24) and was also invited to comment on the issue on CityTV on the same day.
