​The Canadian Encyclopedia: The Oka Crisis

Take me to the article!
File type: Encyclopedia Article (pdf) 
Article by Tabitha Marshall (Jan 28, 2019) 
Length: 7 pages 
Source: https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/oka-crisis

This article describes the events surrounding the Oka Crisis of 1990. Marshall describes the escalation of the crisis beginning with the Oka council’s decision to expand a golf course that was already a point of contention between the settlers and Mohawk nation of Kanehsatake, moving into a blockade that drew in support from Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island, and eventually coalescing into an armed military standoff between those remaining in the Kanehsatake nation border and 800 soldiers from the Canadian Armed Forces. Marshall concludes by discussing the resolution and significance of the standoff while recognising that the contested territory is currently owned by the federal government and has not yet been transferred as reserve land to the Kanehsatake Mohawk.
