Quote:
"It is clear that without [Alanis] Obomsawin's 1993 film [Kanehsatake 270 Years of Resistance], the history of Oka circa 1990 would be dominated by [Prime Minister Brian] Mulroney's assertion, reproduced in the documentary, that the armed Mohawks were criminals and illegally wielding weapons."
