Excellent concise and factual rendition of the events at Oka

There are a myriad of other books delving into the minutia of what lead to the Oka incident, the event itself and the post-analysis but few have encapsulated the struggle as well as this book. Photos, graphics and details which rarely entered mainstream media are presented in a manner (which are admittedly biased of course) that urge the reader to consider other positions and possibilities. The reader who has little to no knowledge of what transpired at Kanesatake will go away with a formidable wealth of knowledge through the first-hand accounts which have been presented in chronological order. To the Kanienkehaka (Mohawk people), this is a mandatory book which needs to be available to our younger readers so that this transgression never repeats itself. To the non-Native, it's a lesson in the issues and frustrations of all First Nations people told with great candidness... with the hope that this transgression never repeats itself.

the reservation way

i like for the fact that creig has writing a book on our native rights and how the government tried to take away native rights and how we stoped the canadian governmenti am preveicely reading people of the pines.
