The natives have a right to protest and hold demonstrations but -- when they start to disrupt traffic and the rights of citizens, YES - they should be arrested and fined. This action of theirs does nothing for them but to make people angry, rather than being made aware of reasons for their demonstrtion - which is too bad.

why won't journalists start actually reporting all the facts on these incidents? the police should not have arrested anyone because they knew folks were coming and the protestors had checked with the police before starting out.... why is there NO mention of the by-law officer who actually riled everyone up by refusing to listen and insulting the spiritual practices of the participants... why doesn't that part of the story get any coverage?
