Pierre George is the brother of Dudley George who was shot and killed by police in September 1995 when a Kettle & Stoney Point splinter group occupied Ipperwash Provincial Park.

Sunday's incident happened during the "Going Home Walk", marking ratification of the $95-million Ipperwash Final Settlement agreement between the Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point and the federal government.
