A property developer claiming a piece of contested property in Oka, Que., will meet with the town's mayor Monday afternoon.

The Kanesatake Mohawks maintain that the land, which is adjacent to the disputed pine stand that was at the heart of the 1990 Oka Crisis, belongs to them.

The developer, Norfolk Financial Group, has bought the land fair and square, says operations director Normand Ducharme.

On Friday, Ducharme and other Norfolk representatives were met by angry Mohawk protesters when they showed up to mark trees to be cut.

Provincial police officers intervened to restore calm after about 30 Mohawks shouted at Ducharme and the others and struck their vehicle.

Developer wants Oka to buy land

Ducharme said he hopes the meeting will be fruitful and that municipal officials from Oka will offer to buy the land from him.

"I'd like to hear some positive notes from the mayor stating that any bullying approach from him would be calmed down right now and that we are going to proceed immediately to an agreement on purchasing the land," said Ducharme.

The developer is looking to get market value for the land, which he claims is worth $400,000.

Norfolk acquired the land in March 2009 from a company that owed the company $100,000 in mortgage loans.

Ducharme said he has spoken to his lawyers about possibly filing criminal charges over several incidents that occurred during the confrontation with protesters Friday.

He said he's considering pursuing charges of assault, intimidation and uttering death threats.

The Oka Crisis flared up in July 1990 after provincial police and later the Canadian army were asked to intervene in a dispute between the town and the Mohawk community over plans to expand a golf course onto land the Mohawks claimed was traditional burial ground.

Quebec police officer Marcel Lemay, 31, died during the dispute.

The standoff lasted 78 days.
