Tensions were mounting last night as native protesters and members of the OPP tactical squad were in a standoff at a protest site in Deseronto.
This came just hours after about 10 people were arrested and two police officers were taken to hospital.
As of late last night the conflict had not been resolved at a scene which included lit fires in fields and vitriolic threats.
Among those arrested was Shawn Brant, who organized the blockade of the Montreal-Toronto CN rail corridor last April and June. Brant, who was arrested during a traffic stop yesterday afternoon, faces assault, weapons and drug charges, police said.
