Kanehsatake Flim
After watching a portion of the Oka-crisis I was slightly lost so I had to do some reading up on Wiki...(of course!). This land dispute I think quite frankly should have never happened and for some reason while watching the film it seemed to be like a modern war where food was being withheld. I thought it was amazing how the Mowhawk people actually made a blockade on the bridge to keep people from coming in and coming out. I think that this situation of the white people holding the land would have happened years and year before, and not something in 1990. The city should have just gave them their land because it was there, rather they wanted to build something erroneous as a golf course? That is the ultimate disrespect, and I think that they should've honestly seen this conflict coming. I can't wait to watch more!
