The Six Nations peoples are not without some blame because even they could not make decisions during this time period.  The traditional Elders and the elected Elders could not agree on how things should be handled. This is where I believe that mistakes were made.  The invitation to invite outside help in the form of masked individuals to take part in the blockade leads me to believe that these people were brought in to create an incident.  It is common knowledge that guns were also brought to the scene.
