		In 1951 the stones were cemented over permanently and the giant camp logo stood as a landmark in the area for six decades since.

		Kanesatake (pop.1200) is a rare native community; it does not have federally recognized title to its land, it is not recognized as a reserve under the Indian Act and it did not have a native police force until 1997.
		Treaty Chief James Gabriel is determined to resume his role in Kanesatake during next Tuesday’s band council meeting even though people in the community have said they will no longer recognize his authority.
		I have no knowledge or indirect knowledge of the Hells Angels being in Kanesatake.” Bonspille denied that Kanesatake is a haven of organized crime and pot saying, “(Gabriel) is fixated on drugs this whole term in office, he should have been a police chief somewhere instead of a band chief.”

		They feel that by going to the federal courts to get his old job back, Gabriel is ignoring the will of the community he is supposed to be representing, and setting a bad precedent for other Canadian natives.
		Come what may, James Gabriel and Kanesatake are stuck with each other until the next band council elections in 2004, barring an unanticipated reversal.
		As for Bonspille, he says that while the Kanesatake band council has no choice but to reinstate Gabriel as Grand Chief, they won’t be going out of their way to make life easy for him.
