It was pitch black in the early-morning hours on Wednesday when Trevor Bomberry says a pair of security guards started searching his tent at the Arrowdale Golf Course in Brantford, Ont.
Two others confronted him, he said.
"They informed us we had to leave, they were on behalf of the city," the 48-year-old Oneida man from Six Nations of the Grand River told CBC Hamilton. "I was angry ... it's straight up intimidation."
He said security has been watching him ever since he and others broke the lock on the gated-off area and began occupying the land on Saturday.
"This is our land. Mostly all of Brantford belongs to our people. It's been stolen," he said Wednesday morning, as security guards were parked outside the encampment, observing and snapping pictures.
City spokesperson Maria Visocchi said security responded to alarms triggered by the occupation, but "to the best of my knowledge, the only officials that have approached the occupants at the site were representatives of Brantford police."
The occupation is the latest in a series of escalating developments following the city's decision to try to sell a portion of the land.
