This film documents the 1990 crisis when Native Americans of the Mohawk Nation blocked access to reserve land which was being appropriated against their will by the White community of Oka, Quebec, Canada. This film shows the initial incident and the resulting siege from the Mohawks' point of view as an illustration of how this is simply a result of resistance to 270 years of European racism pushing them around and leading up to this confrontation.
