Quote:
"Throughout the film [Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance], [Alanis] Obomsawin features women speaking to the camera in interviews with the filmmaker, or records them in confrontation with an opponent, be it a police officer, a soldier, or an antagonistic member of the surrounding community. The message the Mohawk women articulate resounds with clarity: We're here. This is our land. We 're not going anywhere."
