The Ipperwash Provincial Park where native protester Dudley George was shot and killed in 1995 will be returned to the Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point First Nation, the Ontario government announced today.

"I think he would be pleased. He paid the ultimate price and is not here to enjoy," George's brother, Sam, said Thursday.

George was killed during a police raid to remove protesters from the park on Sept. 6, 1995.

The protesters had wanted the federal government to return nearby Camp Ipperwash, formerly the Stony Point reserve, to Kettle and Stony Point descendants.

At the time, the protesters also claimed that the Ipperwash Provincial Park, owned by the provincial government, was the site of a sacred burial ground.

Justice Sydney Linden, the commissioner of the Ipperwash Inquiry which probed the death of George, said in his May 2007 report that the most urgent priority was that both the federal and provincial lands be returned.

Sam George welcomed the announcement Thursday.

"By returning these 109 acres, by keeping a treaty promise, and by honouring the memory of my brother Dudley, we are respecting each other," he told reporters. "It shows that we can be friends. For these things, I and my family would like to again thank the people of Ontario."

Aboriginal Affairs Minister Michael Bryant said Thursday the move showed how determined the McGuinty government is to move forward with the recommendations.
