The Olympic torch relay continues to weave its way through southern Ontario today with visits to Brantford, Paris, Simcoe, Tillsonburg, St. Thomas and ending the day in Chatham.

The torch will also be blessed by members of the Oneida of the Thames and Chippewas of the Thames.

Aboriginal protesters forced authorities to change the relay route yesterday on the Six Nations reserve in Caledonia.

Runners were to carry the torch down Highway 54 onto the reserve but officials drove it to a local hall instead where 25 torchbearers took turns running it around a circuit in the parking lot.

Protesters waving Mohawk Warrior and Iroquois Confederacy flags say the torch has no business on Six Nations land, which they consider sovereign territory.

But many more reserve members gathered at the hall to support the aboriginal torchbearers
