Mohawk Indians in Canada have parked a bus on a busy rail line, effectively cutting off transit between Toronto and Ottawa. They are protesting against the government's use of their ancestral land for gravel mining.

"They say they want the provincial government to close a gravel quarry which they say is on Mohawk land."

"The protesters parked a bus over tracks on the line between the cities of Toronto and Ottawa."

"Fire crews and police are at the site, which the Mohawks say they intend to occupy for 48 hours."
