The Oka Crisis
A dispute over a golf course development in Quebec in 1990 led to a 78-day siege between indigenous Mohawk protestors and Canadian security forces.
Indigenous Canadians objected to plans to develop a golf course on the site of a burial ground in Quebec in 1990. The dispute led to a summer-long siege between Mohawk protestors and Canadian security forces. Ellen Katsi'tsakwas Gabriel is a Mohawk activist who spoke to Rebecca Kesby about the crisis.
