On Thursday an Ontario Superior Court judge ordered the protesters, who have been occupying the McKenzie Meadows site since July, to permanently leave.
Demonstrators say the development is on unceded land and that it violates the sovereignty of the Haudenosaunee people.
Skyler Williams, the spokesperson for the protest, says the federal government has reached out but no date has been set for a meeting.
