Quote:
"[Alanis] Obomsawin's film [Kanehsatake 270 Years of Resistance], as part of its undoing of the cultural construction of Mohawk warriors as terrorists, asks the white Western viewer to identify with the gaze of the Mohawk Other that reads colonialism as white state-sponsored terrorism."
-- Christopher E. Gittings
