#mohawkwarriors

The Oka Crisis of 1990 was a turning point in First Nations & Canadian history. The town of Oka, Quebec tried to replace a Mohawk burial ground with a gold course, which led to a 78 - day armed stand-off, between Mohawk Warriors & the Canadian military.

The names in red are the warriors who manned the barricades & the names in gray are the warriors who were sent to prison. The photograph is of Canadian soldiers patrolling the concertina wire, at the perimeter of the Mohawk stand-off.

Currently,  “The Heroes of Oka” is being exhibited in an exhibition, “Future Memoria”, at the Surrey Art Gallery.
