OKA -Kanesatake Resistance | 124

History of the 90s - Un pódcast de Curiouscast - Miercoles

In 1990, a plan to expand a golf course in Oka, Quebec led to a 78 day standoff with the Mohawks of Kanesatake who claimed the disputed land belonged to them. During the tense standoff a provincial police officer was killed, mobs of locals burned effigies and harassed Indigenous people and ultimately Canadian Forces soldiers were deployed to the area. In this episode of History of the 90s we look back at what led up to the Kanestake Resistance and how it forced Canada to confront a new reality in its relationship with Indigenous people.
