Men's Fire seek injunction on McClung development By Jim Windle SIX NATIONS - Tired of waiting for the Elected Council of the Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI) to do anything more than send letters expressing their concerns over a huge housing development planned for Caledonia, the Men's Fire organization of Six Nations filed a motion of their own with the Ontario Superior Court on Wednesday, December 16th.

I was taken aback by that." So was the judge apparently. "The judge got [angry] because he had booked two or three days and rescheduled everybody," says Monture.
