Transcript

On a hot July day in 1990, an historic confrontation propelled Native issues in Kanehsatake and the village of Oka, Québec, into the international spotlight and into the Canadian conscience.

Director Alanis Obomsawin endured 78 nerve-wracking days and nights filming the armed stand-off between the Mohawks, the Québec police and the Canadian army. A powerful feature-documentary emerges that takes you right into the action of an age-old aboriginal struggle. The result is a portrait of the people behind the barricades, providing insight into the Mohawks' unyelding determination to protect their land.

“Such a powerful film! A testament to the strength of the human spirit! Long live the Resistance!” “Alanis Obomswain is a Modern day Storyteller. The true stories of the unjust treatment is not taught in our schools, not in our History books,and our Governments exceed Hitler in Human Rights Abuse. Each day we must be thankful for the fighting Warrior Spirit Grandfather has instilled in us! It is through the media as Alanis proves up that we are capable of change! Aho Alanis for your Warrior Spirit! ”

AWAY WITH GOLF STICKS,

EXPROPRIATED THE COMMONS.

BECAME THE PROPERTY OF OKA.

JUST LOOKED AT EACH OTHER.

00:27:07.083 --> 00:27:13.583
THEY ASKED ME TO MOVE OUT
AND GO TO A HOTEL SOMEWHERE,

00:27:13.584 --> 00:27:16.583
JUST IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS.

00:27:16.584 --> 00:27:19.249
WHAT\'S THE USE TO RUN AWAY?

00:27:19.250 --> 00:27:22.917
IF GOD\'S WILLING TO DIE HERE,
I\'LL DIE HERE.

00:27:22.918 --> 00:27:28.208
[ Narrator ]: THE IRONY IS
THAT THE ARMY HELICOPTERS

00:27:28.209 --> 00:27:31.249
ARE LANDING BEHIND
THE SULPICIANS\' CHURCH

00:27:31.250 --> 00:27:34.541
WHERE THE TROUBLE ALL
BEGAN 270 YEARS AGO.

00:27:34.542 --> 00:27:39.750
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, ALL
THIS LAND WAS ABORIGINAL LAND.

00:27:39.751 --> 00:27:43.291
LONG BEFORE THE WHITE MAN CAME,
THE KANIENKEHAKA,

00:27:43.292 --> 00:27:46.917
PEOPLE OF THE FLINT,
KNOWN AS MOHAWKS,

00:27:46.918 --> 00:27:47.876
HAD GOVERNED THEMSELVES

00:27:47.877 --> 00:27:50.917
WITHIN A CONFEDERACY
OF FIVE NATIONS THEY CALLED

00:27:50.918 --> 00:27:51.918
HAUDENOSAUNEE.

00:27:51.919 --> 00:27:55.416
THE MOHAWKS WERE THE KEEPERS
OF THE EASTERN DOOR

00:27:55.417 --> 00:27:56.875
OF THE FIVE
NATIONS TERRITORY.

00:27:56.876 --> 00:28:02.875
IN 1535, ON HIS SECOND VOYAGE
TO CANADA, CARTIER REACHED

00:28:02.876 --> 00:28:08.291
THE MAIN IROQUOIAN VILLAGE,
HOCHELAGA, NOW MONTREAL.

00:28:08.292 --> 00:28:10.374
AT THE FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN,

00:28:10.375 --> 00:28:14.958
HE SAW ABOUT 50 LONGHOUSES
IN THE MIDDLE OF CORN FIELDS.

00:28:14.959 --> 00:28:20.917
IN 1663, THE GENTLEMEN OF THE
SEMINARY OF ST. SULPICE IN PARIS

00:28:20.918 --> 00:28:23.166
WERE NAMED THE SEIGNEURS
OF THE ISLAND OF MONTREAL,

00:28:23.167 --> 00:28:28.416
AND SO BEGAN THE DISPOSSESSION
OF THE ABORIGINAL PEOPLE

00:28:28.417 --> 00:28:29.083
OF THIS COUNTRY.

00:28:29.084 --> 00:28:34.166
IN 1676, ONE OF THEIR
MISSIONARIES BEGAN VISITING

00:28:34.167 --> 00:28:37.917
THE MOHAWK VILLAGE LOCATED WHERE
DOWNTOWN MONTREAL IS TODAY.

00:28:37.918 --> 00:28:42.249
THE MOHAWKS WERE DISPLACED
FROM THEIR HOMELAND

00:28:42.250 --> 00:28:45.416
AND MOVED SEVERAL TIMES
BY THE SULPICIANS.

00:28:45.417 --> 00:28:47.249
FINALLY, THEY WERE TOLD TO MOVE

00:28:47.250 --> 00:28:49.708
TO A SETTLEMENT ON
THEIR HUNTING GROUNDS

00:28:49.709 --> 00:28:52.166
AT THE MOUTH
OF THE OTTAWA RIVER,

00:28:52.167 --> 00:28:54.249
OR LAKE OF TWO MOUNTAINS.

00:28:54.250 --> 00:28:56.750
THE SETTLEMENT WAS
CALLED KANEHSATAKE.

00:28:56.751 --> 00:29:02.833
IN 1716, IN THE NAME OF
THE KING OF FRANCE, LOUIS XV,

00:29:02.834 --> 00:29:05.416
WHO WAS THEN SIX YEARS OLD,

00:29:05.417 --> 00:29:07.208
A WRITTEN PROMISE

00:29:07.209 --> 00:29:08.209
WAS MADE TO THE MOHAWK NATION

00:29:08.210 --> 00:29:11.958
OF LAND NINE MILES SQUARE
ON CONDITION THAT,

00:29:11.959 --> 00:29:13.583
SHOULD THE MOHAWKS LEAVE,

00:29:13.584 --> 00:29:15.583
THIS LAND WOULD
REVERT TO THE KING.

00:29:15.584 --> 00:29:18.374
THE KING ALSO
ACCORDED THE SULPICIANS

00:29:18.375 --> 00:29:22.750
ONE AND HALF MILES BY NINE
MILES NEXT TO THE MOHAWKS\' LAND.

00:29:22.751 --> 00:29:26.833
BUT THE SULPICIANS WERE NOT
HAPPY WITH THIS DECISION;

00:29:26.834 --> 00:29:28.249
THEY WANTED ALL THE LAND

00:29:28.250 --> 00:29:30.750
BECAUSE IT WAS
A WELL-ESTABLISHED

00:29:30.751 --> 00:29:34.249
MEETING PLACE FOR TRADING.

00:29:34.250 --> 00:29:34.876
A YEAR LATER,

00:29:34.877 --> 00:29:36.999
THEY SUCCEEDED WITH THE HELP
OF THE GOVERNOR

00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:39.082
OF MONTREAL AND THE INTENDANT

00:29:39.083 --> 00:29:43.249
TO HAVE THE ENTIRE TRACT
OF LAND GRANTED TO THEMSELVES.

00:29:43.250 --> 00:29:45.333
THEY DID NOT INFORM
THE MOHAWKS OF THIS ACTION.

00:29:45.334 --> 00:29:49.333
THE DEED WAS SENT
TO FRANCE FOR APPROVAL.

00:29:49.334 --> 00:29:53.041
IT WAS POINTED OUT
THAT THIS MOVE WOULD HELP

00:29:53.042 --> 00:29:54.416
IN THE CONVERSION
OF THESE SAVAGES,

00:29:54.417 --> 00:29:56.625
AND THAT IN TIME OF WAR

00:29:56.626 --> 00:29:58.958
THEY WOULD OFFER PROTECTION

00:29:58.959 --> 00:30:01.750
AGAINST INCURSIONS
BY OTHER IROQUOIS.

00:30:01.751 --> 00:30:05.249
AND SO, THE SULPICIANS
BECAME THE SEIGNEURS

00:30:05.250 --> 00:30:08.708
OF LAKE OF TWO MOUNTAINS
ON LAND THAT HAD BEEN

00:30:08.709 --> 00:30:11.124
THE HUNTING GROUNDS
OF THE MOHAWKS

00:30:11.125 --> 00:30:11.918
FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL.

00:30:11.919 --> 00:30:17.458
NOT KNOWING OF THIS TREACHERY,
THE MOHAWKS REMAINED FAITHFUL

00:30:17.459 --> 00:30:20.166
TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
AND THE KING OF FRANCE,

00:30:20.167 --> 00:30:23.583
AND FOUGHT ON THE SIDE OF
THE FRENCH AGAINST THE ENGLISH.

00:30:23.584 --> 00:30:29.833
BY 1721, THE LAST MOHAWK
FAMILIES WERE PERSUADED

00:30:29.834 --> 00:30:33.541
TO LEAVE THE ISLAND OF MONTREAL
AND MOVE TO KANEHSATAKE.

00:30:33.542 --> 00:30:37.958
UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY
WOULD NOT BE ASKED TO MOVE

00:30:37.959 --> 00:30:38.751
OR BE MOLESTED AGAIN,

00:30:38.752 --> 00:30:42.999
THEY MADE A WAMPUM BELT
AS A RECORD OF THEIR RIGHTS

00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:44.166
TO THE LAND.

00:30:44.167 --> 00:30:47.082
JUST TO THE WEST,
THE ALGONQUINS

00:30:47.083 --> 00:30:49.875
AND THE NIPISSING PEOPLE
HAD HUNTING GROUNDS

00:30:49.876 --> 00:30:52.333
ON BOTH BANKS OF
THE OTTAWA RIVER,

00:30:52.334 --> 00:30:56.124
AND THEY WERE ALSO
ON LAKE OF TWO MOUNTAINS.

00:30:56.125 --> 00:30:56.792
BY 1760,

00:30:56.793 --> 00:31:01.583
THE BRITISH HAD TAKEN
CONTROL OF NEW FRANCE.

00:31:01.584 --> 00:31:03.875
A NOTICE WAS
SENT TO KANEHSATAKE

00:31:03.876 --> 00:31:05.333
THAT UNLESS THEY
PLEDGED ALLEGIANCE

00:31:05.334 --> 00:31:09.041
TO THE KING OF ENGLAND, THEIR
VILLAGE WOULD BE DESTROYED.

00:31:09.042 --> 00:31:14.249
THE CHIEFS MET IN FULL COUNCIL
WITH SIR WILLIAM JOHNSON.

00:31:14.250 --> 00:31:17.458
THEY WERE TOLD THAT
TITLE TO THEIR LANDS

00:31:17.459 --> 00:31:21.625
AND FREEDOM OF RELIGION WERE
GUARANTEED IN THE KING\'S NAME.

00:31:21.626 --> 00:31:26.333
ALL THOSE WHO DID NOT WISH TO BE
SUBJECTS OF THE BRITISH CROWN

00:31:26.334 --> 00:31:29.249
HAD 18 MONTHS
TO SELL THEIR LAND.

00:31:29.250 --> 00:31:31.625
THE SULPICIANS WERE IN TROUBLE.

00:31:31.626 --> 00:31:33.333
THEY COULDN\'T SELL THE LAND

00:31:33.334 --> 00:31:36.124
BECAUSE THE MOHAWKS
WERE STILL LIVING THERE.

00:31:36.125 --> 00:31:38.875
SO, FOUR MONTHS
BEFORE THE DEADLINE,

00:31:38.876 --> 00:31:40.750
THE HEAD OF
THE SEMINARY IN PARIS

00:31:40.751 --> 00:31:43.875
TRANSFERRED TITLE TO THE LAND
TO THE SEMINARY IN MONTREAL.

00:31:43.876 --> 00:31:48.708
THE SUPERIOR OF THE ORDER
THEN SWORE ALLEGIANCE

00:31:48.709 --> 00:31:51.166
TO KING GEORGE III.

00:31:51.167 --> 00:31:54.249
ON FEBRUARY 8, 1787,

00:31:54.250 --> 00:31:57.166
AFTER YEARS OF BEING
TOLD BY THE SULPICIANS

00:31:57.167 --> 00:32:01.958
THAT THEY DID NOT OWN
ANY LAND, NOT EVEN A SHRUB,

00:32:01.959 --> 00:32:05.041
THE MOHAWKS USED THE WAMPUM
BELT TO CONVEY CONCERN

00:32:05.042 --> 00:32:08.249
TO SUPERINTENDENT GENERAL
OF INDIAN AFFAIRS,

00:32:08.250 --> 00:32:10.291
SIR JOHN JOHNSON.

00:32:10.292 --> 00:32:12.166
SAID CHIEF AUGNITHA:

00:32:12.167 --> 00:32:17.583
\"YOU SEE THIS WHITE LINE, WHICH
SHOWS THE LENGTH OF OUR LAND?

00:32:17.584 --> 00:32:20.249
\"THE FIGURES HOLDING HANDS
WHO REJOIN THE CROSS

00:32:20.250 --> 00:32:24.917
\"REPRESENT THE LOYALTY WHICH WE
OWE TO THE FAITH THAT WE HOLD.

00:32:24.918 --> 00:32:30.166
\"THE BODY REPRESENTS
THE COUNCIL FIRE OF OUR VILLAGE.

00:32:30.167 --> 00:32:32.625
\"THE TWO DOGS ON THE OUTSIDE

00:32:32.626 --> 00:32:35.082
\"ARE SUPPOSED TO GUARD
THE BOUNDARIES OF OUR LAND,

00:32:35.083 --> 00:32:38.166
\"AND IF ANYONE ATTEMPTED
TO INTERRUPT OUR POSSESSION,

00:32:38.167 --> 00:32:42.333
IT IS THEIR DUTY
TO WARN US BY BARKING.\"

00:32:42.334 --> 00:32:45.708
[ Narrator ]: FOR THE IROQUOIS,
THE WAMPUM BELT

00:32:45.709 --> 00:32:47.458
WAS A RECORD OF LAWS GOVERNING

00:32:47.459 --> 00:32:49.750
A FIVE NATION CONFEDERACY

00:32:49.751 --> 00:32:52.708
RULED BY A COUNCIL
OF FIFTY CHIEFS.

00:32:52.709 --> 00:32:54.750
THIS SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT
WOULD INFLUENCE

00:32:54.751 --> 00:32:58.416
THE FUTURE ESTABLISHMENT
OF A DEMOCRATIC CHARTER

00:32:58.417 --> 00:33:00.249
IN NORTH AMERICA.

00:33:00.250 --> 00:33:04.583
AS THE YEARS WENT BY,
EVERY CHIEF TOOK UP THE STRUGGLE

00:33:04.584 --> 00:33:08.082
TO HAVE THEIR RIGHTS
TO THE LAND RECOGNIZED.

00:33:08.083 --> 00:33:09.625
NOTABLE AMONG THESE

00:33:09.626 --> 00:33:13.999
WAS JOSEPH ONASAKENRAT,
A YOUNG MOHAWK.

00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:18.082
THE SULPICIANS NOTICED IN
JOSEPH A MAN OF MORE THAN

00:33:18.083 --> 00:33:21.917
ORDINARY INTELLIGENCE AND
INFLUENCE WITH HIS TRIBE.

00:33:21.918 --> 00:33:25.249
THEY IMMEDIATELY BEGAN
TO PATRONIZE HIM.

00:33:25.250 --> 00:33:28.416
THEY SENT HIM TO
THE COLLEGE DE MONTREAL

00:33:28.417 --> 00:33:31.416
IN ORDER TO PREPARE
HIM FOR THE PRIESTHOOD.

00:33:31.417 --> 00:33:35.625
IN 1868,
AT THE AGE OF 23,

00:33:35.626 --> 00:33:38.583
JOSEPH WAS MADE
HEAD CHIEF OF KANEHSATAKE.

00:33:38.584 --> 00:33:42.833
THERE WAS A NOBILITY IN
HIS CHARACTER THAT SCORNED

00:33:42.834 --> 00:33:44.875
ANYTHING THAT WAS FALSE.

00:33:44.876 --> 00:33:47.416
FOR THE FIRST TIME,
THE MOHAWKS HAD A CHIEF

00:33:47.417 --> 00:33:50.666
WHO COULD READ AND WRITE
THE WHITE MAN\'S WAY.

00:33:50.667 --> 00:33:56.291
AS SECRETARY TO THE SULPICIANS,
HE SOON DISCOVERED THE EXTENT

00:33:56.292 --> 00:33:58.041
OF THEIR FALSE DEALINGS
WITH HIS NATION.

00:33:58.042 --> 00:34:03.291
CHIEF JOSEPH, ACCOMPANIED BY
ALGONQUIN AND NIPISSING CHIEFS,

00:34:03.292 --> 00:34:05.249
AND A GROUP OF HIS PEOPLE,

00:34:05.250 --> 00:34:06.999
MARCHED TO
THE SULPICIANS\' HOUSE.

00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:09.583
HE CONFRONTED THE FATHERS:

00:34:09.584 --> 00:34:11.833
\"WE HAVE COME
TO INFORM YOU

00:34:11.834 --> 00:34:14.291
\"THAT YOU HAVE NOT
DEALT JUSTLY WITH US

\"AND THAT WE WANT YOU
TO LEAVE OUR LAND,

\"AS WE DO NOT WANT TO BE
ROBBED OF OUR HERITAGE.

\"THIS LAND WAS GIVEN
TO YOU IN TRUST

\"FOR THE TRIBE
TO WHOM IT BELONGS.

00:34:25.375 --> 00:34:28.082
\"AND HOW HAVE YOU
BETRAYED THAT TRUST?

00:34:28.083 --> 00:34:31.249
\"BY SELLING THE TIMBER
AND FILLING YOUR TREASURY

00:34:31.250 --> 00:34:33.917
\"WITH THE PROCEEDS
OF STOLEN PROPERTY.

00:34:33.918 --> 00:34:36.374
\"THIS LAND IS OURS,

\"AND YOU WOULD TEAR IT FROM US
AND LEAVE US WANDERERS

AT THE MERCY OF FATE.\"

00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:58.082
[ Narrator ]: THE BROTHER
OF THE BISHOP OF MONTREAL

00:34:58.083 --> 00:35:00.374
CAME TO OKA AND
THREATENED THE CHIEFS

00:35:00.375 --> 00:35:04.833
THAT HE WOULD SHUT THEM UP IN
KINGSTON PENITENTIARY FOR LIFE

00:35:04.834 --> 00:35:07.917
IF THEY DID NOT
OBEY THE PRIESTS.

00:35:07.918 --> 00:35:09.041
HE ALSO INFORMED CHIEF JOSEPH

00:35:09.042 --> 00:35:13.374
THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAD BOUGHT
LAND FOR THEM IN ONTARIO.

00:35:13.375 --> 00:35:16.249
CHIEF JOSEPH REPLIED:

00:35:16.250 --> 00:35:17.750
\"WE WILL NEVER GO THERE;

00:35:17.751 --> 00:35:20.750
\"WE WILL DIE ON

OF ROME\'S INJUSTICE AND GREED.\"

00:35:29.751 --> 00:35:30.751
[ Narrator ]: IN RESPONSE,

00:35:30.752 --> 00:35:33.708
THE PRIESTS ASKED
QUEBEC TO SEND POLICE,

WHO IMPRISONED CHIEF JOSEPH

00:35:36.459 --> 00:35:40.082
AND MANY OF THE PEOPLE
OF KANEHSATAKE.

00:35:40.083 --> 00:35:46.082
IN JULY 1990, THIS
SAD LEGACY CONTINUES.

00:35:46.083 --> 00:35:47.875

THE NEGOTIATORS DO
NOT BELIEVE THEM;

THEIR SUSPICIONS
ARE CONFIRMED

00:36:04.667 --> 00:36:07.416
WHEN THEY SEE
THE ARMY ADVANCING.

[ First Nation drums ]

00:36:15.626 --> 00:36:16.833
THAT\'S TOO BAD...

00:36:16.834 --> 00:36:18.958
IT\'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL
DAY, YOU KNOW...

00:36:18.959 --> 00:36:22.333
YOU WONDER WHERE
THE HONOUR HAS GONE, HUH?

00:36:22.334 --> 00:36:28.334
DOES YOUR CANADIAN

CALL PEACEFUL NEGOTIATIONS?

00:47:07.834 --> 00:47:09.416
AND I SAID, \"FOR WHAT?\"

00:47:09.417 --> 00:47:11.583
AND THEY SAID, \"FOR BEING
BEHIND THE BARRICADES.\"

00:47:11.584 --> 00:47:16.958
AND FOR INTIMIDATION AND
ALL KINDS OF STUFF LIKE THAT,

00:47:16.959 --> 00:47:17.999
NOT OBEYING THE INJUNCTION.

00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:20.124
THEY\'D HAVE TO ARREST

00:47:20.125 --> 00:47:23.708
SIDDON AND THEY\'D HAVE
TO ARREST JUDGE GOLD,

00:47:23.709 --> 00:47:28.500
THEY\'D HAVE TO ARREST CIACCIA,
BECAUSE THEY\'VE ALL BEEN

00:47:28.501 --> 00:47:31.250
ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE BARRICADE.

00:47:55.250 --> 00:47:59.082
JUST WHEN I TOLD THEM I\'M
ENTITLED TO A PHONE CALL

00:47:59.083 --> 00:48:00.791
TO MY LAWYER,

00:48:00.792 --> 00:48:03.208
THE OFFICER SITTING IN
THE PASSENGER SEAT LAUGHED,

00:48:03.209 --> 00:48:04.708
TURNED AROUND AND HE
PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE.

00:48:04.709 --> 00:48:07.208
\"WHICH GUN DID YOU HAVE
WHEN YOU KILLED LEMAY?\"

00:48:07.209 --> 00:48:10.625
I\'M THERE, \"WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
I DIDN\'T KILL NOBODY.\"

00:48:10.626 --> 00:48:13.917
THEN JUST BECAUSE I SAID THAT,
ANOTHER SLAP,

00:48:13.918 --> 00:48:15.918
OR A KICK IN THE TESTICLES.

00:49:27.167 --> 00:49:30.541
THEY PUT THE CUFFS ON MY BACK,
THEY ASKED ME TO STAND UP.

00:49:30.542 --> 00:49:33.999
AND ONE OF THE OFFICERS
ASKED ME IF I SMOKED.

00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:37.333
I WAS MORE THAN HAPPY
TO HAVE A CIGARETTE.

00:49:37.334 --> 00:49:39.666
HE LIGHTS HIMSELF
A CIGARETTE,

00:49:39.667 --> 00:49:41.166
BLOWS HIS SMOKE IN MY FACE.

00:49:41.167 --> 00:49:44.082
JUST WHEN HIS CIGARETTE IS JUST
ABOUT OUT, ABOUT AN INCH LONG,

00:49:44.083 --> 00:49:45.583
HE PUTS IT ONTO MY BELLY.

00:49:45.584 --> 00:49:48.750
HE ACTUALLY PUT HIS
CIGARETTE OUT ON MY STOMACH,

00:49:48.751 --> 00:49:51.750
AND THEN HE PULLS ON MY PANTS
AND PUTS IT DOWN MY PANTS.

00:49:51.751 --> 00:49:56.626
AND THEY CALL US
SAVAGES, I MEAN...

00:49:58.584 --> 00:49:59.750
AND FINALLY I HAD

00:49:59.751 --> 00:50:00.334
ENOUGH.

00:50:00.335 --> 00:50:03.583
TWO OR THREE HOURS OF GETTING
BEATEN ON, I SIGNED IT.

00:50:03.584 --> 00:50:05.500
AN EMPTY
SHEET.

00:50:05.501 --> 00:50:06.250
YEAH.

00:50:06.251 --> 00:50:11.833
THE TOUGHEST CHALLENGE FOR ANY
GOVERNMENT IN THE WESTERN WORLD

00:50:11.834 --> 00:50:12.501
AND OUR WORLD,

00:50:12.502 --> 00:50:14.750
IS TO DEFEND DEMOCRACY

00:50:14.751 --> 00:50:16.750
AGAINST PEOPLE WHO DO
NOT BELIEVE IN DEMOCRACY.

00:50:16.751 --> 00:50:18.374
[ T.V. ]: MULRONEY PRAISED
BOURASSA\'S GOVERNMENT

00:50:18.375 --> 00:50:21.458
FOR THE WAY IT\'S BEEN HANDLING
THE SITUATION IN OKA.

00:50:21.459 --> 00:50:25.458
WE ARE NOT GOING
TO ACCEDE TO REQUESTS

00:50:25.459 --> 00:50:26.875
FROM A GROUP OF WARRIORS,

00:50:26.876 --> 00:50:29.041
SOME OF WHOM ARE NOT
EVEN CANADIAN CITIZENS,

00:50:29.042 --> 00:50:33.082
AND WHOSE ACTIONS HAVE BEEN,
TO UNDERSTATE THE CASE,

00:50:33.083 --> 00:50:35.374
ILLEGAL FOR SOME
CONSIDERABLE PERIOD OF TIME.

00:50:35.375 --> 00:50:37.875
[ T.V. ]: OUR TROOPS
WILL CONFRONT WARRIORS

00:50:37.876 --> 00:50:39.917
THAT HAVE A SIZEABLE
AND EFFECTIVE ARSENAL.

00:50:39.918 --> 00:50:41.416
MEDIA COVERAGE OF
THE WARRIORS HAS SHOWN

00:50:41.417 --> 00:50:43.958
THAT THEY HAVE A LARGE
NUMBER OF MODERN WEAPONS.

00:50:43.959 --> 00:50:45.791
[ T.V. Anchor ]: NOW
TONY ROSS IN KANEHSATAKE,

00:50:45.792 --> 00:50:49.249
THERE WAS SOME QUESTION ABOUT
HOW... WHAT KIND OF ARMAMENTS

00:50:49.250 --> 00:50:50.666
THE WARRIORS HAD IN THERE.

00:50:50.667 --> 00:50:53.166
THE ARMY SUGGESTED
MAYBE A MORTAR,

00:50:53.167 --> 00:50:55.208
MAYBE SOME REALLY
TOUGH MACHINE GUNS.

00:50:55.209 --> 00:50:56.833
WHAT HAVE THE MOHAWKS
SAID ABOUT THAT?

00:50:56.834 --> 00:50:59.541
[ Ross ]: THE MOHAWKS WON\'T
CONFIRM OR DENY WHAT THEY HAVE.

00:50:59.542 --> 00:51:02.249
I MEAN, I CAN TELL YOU THE
PEOPLE STANDING AROUND ME HERE,

00:51:02.250 --> 00:51:05.500
I GUESS I CAN SEE
SOME KIND OF RIFLES.

00:51:05.501 --> 00:51:09.082
I\'VE SEEN SOMETHING THAT LOOKS
LIKE SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPONS.

00:51:09.083 --> 00:51:10.875
I\'M NOT A WEAPONS EXPERT,

00:51:10.876 --> 00:51:13.458
BUT MOSTLY RIFLES
AND SHOTGUNS AROUND HERE NOW.

00:51:13.459 --> 00:51:15.249
BUT NOBODY WILL
CONFIRM OR DENY

00:51:15.250 --> 00:51:17.082
SOME OF THE HEAVY ARMAMENTS
THE ARMY\'S TALKING ABOUT.

00:51:17.083 --> 00:51:20.249
THE MOHAWKS HERE ARE SAYING
MAYBE THE ARMY\'S SAYING

00:51:20.250 --> 00:51:21.416
THEY\'VE GOT ALL THIS EQUIPMENT

00:51:21.417 --> 00:51:23.791
TO JUSTIFY SOME SORT
OF SHOW OF GREATER FORCE.

00:51:23.792 --> 00:51:26.999
MAYBE THIS IS THE DECADE
THAT ROADBLOCKS

00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:29.416
ARE GOING TO BE
THROUGHOUT CANADA.

00:51:29.417 --> 00:51:30.958
BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE FED UP.

00:51:30.959 --> 00:51:34.917
AND THE ONLY THING THAT
THE GOVERNMENTS UNDERSTAND

00:51:34.918 --> 00:51:35.834
IS RIGHT HERE.

00:51:35.835 --> 00:51:39.791
FISH IS DYIN\', THE AIR\'S
DYIN\', THE PLANTS ARE DYIN\',

00:51:39.792 --> 00:51:40.958
THE ANIMALS ARE DYIN\'.

00:51:40.959 --> 00:51:45.333
WE\'RE NOT TOO FAR BEHIND
THEM AS THE MOHAWK NATION.

ATTACKS A CONVOY

CHILDREN AND WOMEN
FROM KAHNAWAKE

00:51:54.209 --> 00:51:58.250
AS THEY LEAVE THE RESERVE,
FEARING AN ARMY ASSAULT.

ONE PASSENGER, AN ELDERLY MAN,

00:52:08.250 --> 00:52:11.626
LATER SUFFERED A HEART
ATTACK AND DIED.

00:52:18.209 --> 00:52:20.833
THIS IS WHAT THEY
THREW AT MY FATHER.

00:52:20.834 --> 00:52:25.124
THIS IS WHAT HIT
HIM IN THE CHEST.

00:52:25.125 --> 00:52:29.291
[ Narrator ]: HER 77-YEAR-OLD
FATHER WAS BADLY INJURED.

00:52:29.292 --> 00:52:32.209

THOSE FACES.

00:52:34.375 --> 00:52:36.291
[ Narrator ]:
A NUMBER OF HOUSES

00:52:36.292 --> 00:52:37.750
IN THE AREA ARE VANDALIZED

00:52:37.751 --> 00:52:39.374
BY VARIOUS PEOPLE.

00:52:39.375 --> 00:52:40.583
IN ONE CASE,

00:52:40.584 --> 00:52:42.249
TWO WARRIORS ARE SUSPECTED.

00:52:42.250 --> 00:52:46.417
NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE COMMUNITY
FEELS THIS IS VERY BAD.

00:52:48.459 --> 00:52:49.459
AN AGREEMENT TO OPEN

00:52:49.460 --> 00:52:51.791
THE MERCIER BRIDGE IS
REACHED BETWEEN THE ARMY

00:52:51.792 --> 00:52:54.501
AND THE WARRIORS OF KAHNAWAKE.

00:52:56.292 --> 00:52:59.501
THE BARRICADES ARE DISMANTLED.

00:53:01.751 --> 00:53:04.166

ARE SHOCKED

00:53:04.167 --> 00:53:06.249
WHEN THEY HEAR THE NEWS.
THEY FEEL ABANDONED.

WE HAVE A THOUSAND SQ
OFFICERS WAITING TO COME IN.

BUT WE WILL NOT SURRENDER.

00:53:20.417 --> 00:53:22.291
WE\'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG.

00:53:22.292 --> 00:53:23.833
WE\'RE NOT CRIMINALS.

THEY TRY TO INTIMIDATE US
AND BREAK OUR SPIRIT,

00:53:26.751 --> 00:53:28.958
CREATE DIVISION
AMONGST OUR PEOPLE.

00:53:28.959 --> 00:53:30.124
ONCE THAT BRIDGE WAS OPENED,

00:53:30.125 --> 00:53:34.917
IT\'S FAIRLY EVIDENT THEY
COULD DO WHAT THEY LIKE NOW.

00:53:34.918 --> 00:53:36.416
AND THEY\'RE DOING IT.

WE JUST KNEW WE HAD TO STAY
STRONG AND NOT TO BE AFRAID.

01:53:27.250 --> 01:53:28.209
[ Bolt Pin ]: THE MP SAYS

01:53:28.210 --> 01:53:33.708
\"IF ANYONE MAKES A MOVE,
SHOOT \'EM, JUST SHOOT \'EM.\"

01:53:33.709 --> 01:53:36.541
NOW IF HE\'D HAVE KNOWN
NOBODY HAD HANDCUFFS ON,

01:53:36.542 --> 01:53:39.583
WE COULD HAVE JUMPED HIM.
BUT IT WAS OVER.

01:53:39.584 --> 01:53:40.584
IT WAS FINISHED

01:53:40.585 --> 01:53:42.833
WHEN THEY FOUND OUT
THAT WE WERE FAMILY PEOPLE.

01:53:42.834 --> 01:53:46.958
THEY THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO
HAVE RECORDS AS LONG AS OUR ARM.

01:53:46.959 --> 01:53:51.041
THERE WAS FAMILIES...
HUSBANDS, WIVES, CHILDREN.

01:53:51.042 --> 01:53:58.291
WHO\'S GONNA LEAVE
THEIR FAMILY BEHIND?

01:53:58.292 --> 01:54:01.750
HOW IT\'S GONNA BE
WRITTEN IN HISTORY...

01:54:01.751 --> 01:54:02.542
IF I WAS A SOLDIER,

01:54:02.543 --> 01:54:06.666
I\'D BE ASHAMED TO SAY I WAS
IN OKA, OR KANEHSATAKE.

01:54:06.667 --> 01:54:09.082
[ Narrator ]: ST-JEROME...

01:54:09.083 --> 01:54:12.917
THE PEOPLE ARE BROUGHT TO
THE COURTHOUSE FOR ARRAIGNMENT.

01:54:12.918 --> 01:54:14.500
[ Woman ]: WE WERE HERE FIRST,

01:54:14.501 --> 01:54:17.458
AND WE SURE THE HELL
AIN\'T GONNA LEAVE.

01:54:17.459 --> 01:54:20.583
IT\'LL BE A DAY IN HELL.
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

01:54:20.584 --> 01:54:23.416
[ Woman ]: IT\'S NOT THE END,
WE GOT CHILDREN.

01:54:23.417 --> 01:54:25.750
I HOPE YOUS GUYS PUT
YOUR CHILDREN THROUGH

01:54:25.751 --> 01:54:27.416
THIS STUFF YOU PUT US THROUGH.

01:54:27.417 --> 01:54:29.416
YOUS GUYS JUMPED ON MY MOTHER.

01:54:29.417 --> 01:54:31.583
MY MOTHER DIDN\'T DO NOTHIN\'.

01:54:31.584 --> 01:54:33.249
- \'CAUSE THEY\'RE ANIMALS.

01:54:33.250 --> 01:54:36.625
- WE OUGHT TO STICK
YOU ON A RESERVATION,

01:54:36.626 --> 01:54:37.459
AND TAKE AWAY YOUR LAND.

01:54:37.460 --> 01:54:39.833
- WE DON\'T ASK FOR
ANYTHING THAT\'S NOT OURS.

01:54:39.834 --> 01:54:42.166
YOU CAME AND YOU TOOK.

01:54:42.167 --> 01:54:43.834
YOU TOOK!

01:54:45.000 --> 01:54:53.000
[ Cheers ]

01:54:56.209 --> 01:54:58.458
DID WE SAVE ANY CHILDREN?

01:54:58.459 --> 01:55:01.959
IF WE DID, IT WAS WORTH IT.

01:55:03.167 --> 01:55:05.709
[ Woman ]: STAY STRONG!

01:55:06.083 --> 01:55:08.750
YOU TAKE ONE ARROW AND BREAK IT.

01:55:08.751 --> 01:55:12.416
BUT WHEN YOU GET A WHOLE
BUNCH, YOU CAN\'T BREAK IT.

01:55:12.417 --> 01:55:17.166
AND THAT\'S THE PEOPLE
STICKIN\' TOGETHER.

01:55:17.167 --> 01:55:25.167
[ Chanting ]

01:56:12.792 --> 01:56:15.583
[ Voice of Chief Joseph ]:
THIS LAND IS OURS.

01:56:15.584 --> 01:56:19.541
OURS AS A HERITAGE
GIVEN TO US

01:56:19.542 --> 01:56:22.041
AS A SACRED LEGACY.

01:56:22.042 --> 01:56:25.082
IT IS A PLACE WHERE
OUR FATHERS LIE BENEATH

01:56:25.083 --> 01:56:27.249
THOSE TREES.

01:56:27.250 --> 01:56:29.750
OUR MOTHERS SANG OUR LULLABY.

01:56:29.751 --> 01:56:33.041
AND YOU WOULD TEAR IT FROM
US AND LEAVE US WANDERERS,

01:56:33.042 --> 01:56:35.416
AT THE MERCY OF FATE.

01:56:35.417 --> 01:56:38.124
[ Narrator ]: JULY 1992.

01:56:38.125 --> 01:56:40.082
ALL BUT THREE
OF THE DEFENDANTS

01:56:40.083 --> 01:56:43.416
IN THE OKA TRIAL
ARE ACQUITTED BY A JURY.

01:56:43.417 --> 01:56:46.958
THE COST TO THE FEDERAL
AND PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS

01:56:46.959 --> 01:56:50.750
WAS OVER 155 MILLION DOLLARS.

01:56:50.751 --> 01:56:54.208
MAYOR OUELLETTE WAS RE-ELECTED,

01:56:54.209 --> 01:56:58.459
AND THE LAND ISSUE
IS STILL NOT RESOLVED.

01:56:58.834 --> 01:57:05.500
NIKJIKAPTA\'SIT KITPU,THE
GENERAL, KNOWN AS TOM PAUL,

01:57:05.501 --> 01:57:10.917
THE GENERAL FROM ESKASONI,
DIED FEBRUARY 1992.

01:57:10.918 --> 01:57:12.958
HE WAS 49 YEARS OLD.

01:57:12.959 --> 01:57:16.875
HE HAD TAKEN PART IN
THE RESISTANCE AT WOUNDED KNEE,

01:57:16.876 --> 01:57:21.750
GANIENKE, RESTIGOUCHE,
AKWESASNE AND KANEHSATAKE.

01:57:21.751 --> 01:57:27.208
- GO BACK TO LEARNING
THE SPIRITUAL WAYS.

01:57:27.209 --> 01:57:32.999
THAT WAY EVERYBODY
WILL BE STRONG.

01:57:33.000 --> 01:57:41.000
[ Chanting ]

01:57:50.000 --> 01:57:58.000

01:58:23.584 --> 01:58:31.584
[ Chanting ]

01:58:53.709 --> 01:58:57.374
[ Woman ]: THAT\'S A PART
OF US, THAT\'S A PART OF ME.

01:58:57.375 --> 01:59:00.333
THESE TREES ARE
THE BIGGEST ONES

01:59:00.334 --> 01:59:03.708
I\'VE SEEN IN OUR TERRITORY.

01:59:03.709 --> 01:59:06.249
BEFORE THE EUROPEANS CAME,

01:59:06.250 --> 01:59:09.208
WE HAD TREES LIKE THIS
ALL OVER THE PLACE.

01:59:09.209 --> 01:59:11.166
- WE WERE A SMALL
NUMBER OF PEOPLE

01:59:11.167 --> 01:59:15.124
BUT THE QUALITY OF THE PEOPLE
THAT WERE THERE WAS...

01:59:15.125 --> 01:59:16.875
IT WAS JUST OUTSTANDING.
