30 years since the Kahnawà:ke Uprising (Oka Crisis in bougie press) Watch Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance
Prime Minister Trudeau has had 4 years to make Kanehsatà:ke an example of genuine “reconciliation” and intervene in the land dispute. Instead he chose to not intervene through ignoring our requests and remained silent thereby endangering the security, health and well-being of the people of Kanehsatà:ke.
On 21 August, the Kanien’kéha:ka (Mohawk) of Kanehsatà:ke held a press conference in the Pines, the site of the so-called “Oka Crisis” that took place in the summer of 1990, to address the ongoing land fraud in their homelands. They gave Justin Trudeau and the Government of Canada until 31 August to intervene in the 300-year long land dispute and to stop all illegal development in Kanehsatà:ke. Earlier this summer, Sean Carleton sat down with Ellen Gabriel to talk about the recent developments Kanehsatà:ke.
As of 29 August, Trudeau is refusing to meet with the Mohawks and declare a temporary moratorium on development so that a peaceful resolution to ongoing tensions can be negotiated. This is unacceptable.
Canadian Dimension stands with the Kanien’kéha:ka (Mohawk) of Kanehsatà:ke and proudly publishes their most recent press release below.

Seské:ha - August 29, 2019
Ónka - Who: the Rotinonhseshá:ka ne Kanehsatà:ke (People of the Longhouse) under Kaianera’kó:wa (the Great Law of Peace); part of the Iroquois Confederacy
Ne Tekanikónhare – : Prime Minister Trudeau’s refusal to meet and to declare a Temporary Moratorium to stop Land Fraud sales and development in Kanehsatà:ke
People of the Longhouse Kanehsatà:ke are inviting Prime Minister Trudeau to a traditional Kanien’kehá:ka ceremony to burn sacred tobacco to begin our relationship anew, free of past injustice.
Today, the Canadian Government refused the People of the Longhouse of Kanehsatà:ke’s request for a temporary moratorium on development so that a peaceful solution can be negotiated; their refusal suggests they will continue colonial rule and their complicity in the ongoing dispossession of Indigenous lands.
It has been 9 days since the Rotinonhseshá:ka - People of the Longhouse of Kanehsatà:ke under Kaianera’kó:wa (the Iroquois Great Law of Peace), have issued our plea to the Government of Canada to halt the land fraud that continues the land dispossession for over 300 years on Homelands of Kanehsatà:ke.
Our primary plea to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, is a short term moratorium on all development in Homelands in Kanehsatà:ke so that we may begin a process of discussions to resolve our long standing historical land issues. This is a prerequisite for building an atmosphere of peace and respect so that knowledgeable discussions can begin to take place.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has refused to meet with us although an offer to meet was given by MP Marc Miller, Parliamentary Secretary for Indigenous and Crown Relations, but rejected as there was no offer of solutions to the Kanehsatà:ke land conflict, no commitment to solutions, appearing to demonstrate the status quo of government to ignore and disrespect the un-extinguished rights of the Rotinonhseshá:ka ne Kanehsatà:ke.
Prime Minister Trudeau has had 4 years to make Kanehsatà:ke an example of genuine “reconciliation” and intervene in the land dispute. Instead he chose to not intervene through ignoring our requests and remained silent thereby endangering the security, health and well-being of the people of Kanehsatà:ke.
As we have stated over many decades and centuries, the Iroquois Confederacy have never extinguished, suspended or ceded any of our rights to our homelands.
The Great Law of Peace instructs all nations under the Tree of Peace, to extend our hands out in peace and friendship, for the health and well-being of present and future generations: so they may enjoy the land and care for it for the sake of future generations. Our ultimate goal is to create a legacy of peace; for without, peace, there is no hope without hope, there is no future.
We are hoping that we have all learned from the “1990 Oka Crisis” or Kanehsatà:ke Siege, and sincerely extend our hand in peace and friendship to Prime Minister Trudeau in hopes he will accept our invitation to burn sacred tobacco, bring our minds together and to start anew.

My name is Watsenniiostha Shaelyn Nelson and this morning I woke up to the news that the place I and many others called home was burnt down. Kanehsatake CrossFit has had a huge impact in our small community. People from all ages have been participating in WODs since they first opened their doors...

Our sister-community, Kanehsatake lost their gym to an arsonist. Because they're on the rez, they couldn't get insurance. Here is their @gofundme page - please share and if you can, contribute to help keep Kanehsatakeró:non healthy and active!

Kanienkehá:ka Resistance at Oka/Kanehsatake & Kahnawake, 1990 by WarriorPublications.wordpress.com
The Kanien’kehá:ka resistance at Kanehsatá:ke & Kahnawake had a profound impact on Indigenous peoples in Canada. Oka set the tone for Indigenous resistance throughout the ‘90s, and inspired many people & communities to take action. Like Wounded Knee 1973, Oka was an awakening for an entire generation.
INTRODUCTION
The Oka Crisis of 1990 involved the Mohawk territories of Kanehsatá:ke/Oka & Kahnawake, both located near Montreal, Quebec. The standoff began with an armed police assault on a blockade at Kanehsatá:ke on July 11, 1990, which saw one police officer shot dead in a brief exchange of gunfire. Following this, 2,000 police were mobilized, later replaced by 4,500 soldiers with tanks & APC’s, along with naval & air support.
All through the summer of 1990, Oka was the top story in Canadian TV & print media. The armed warriors at both Kanehsatá:ke & Kahnawake inspired widespread support & solidarity from Indigenous people throughout the country. Protests, occupations, blockades, & sabotage actions were carried out, an indication of the great potential for rebellion amongst Indigenous peoples.
This manifestation of unity & solidarity served to limit the use of lethal force by the government in ending the standoff. Overall, Oka had a profound effect on Indigenous peoples and was the single most important factor in re-inspiring our warrior spirit. The 77-day standoff also served as an example of Indigenous sovereignty, and the necessity of armed force to defend territory & people against violent aggression by external forces.

Currently watching this on the 30th anniversary of the #okacrisis. The first time I saw a few years ago it changed my life.

This weekend marks the 30th anniversary of the start of the conflict known as the Oka Crisis. On July 11, 1990, the SQ raided a small roadblock in Kanehsatake and sparked a 78-day standoff between Mohawks and the police and Canadian Army. Over the course of this summer Iorì:wase will be telling some of the stories from that summer 30 years ago.
