On the 20th Anniversary of Oka

On July 11, 2010, 4 buses full of people from Montreal as well as many others from the community of Kanesatà:ke and other areas marched to acknowledge the 20 years that have passed since the event that Canadians know as the "Oka Crisis." Land claims battles are still raging, as are struggles for basic human respect, even 20 years after the highest profile armed stand-off between Mohawk and Canadian nations.
