35 years ago, Mohawks at Kanehsatà:ke stood their fuckin’ ground against cops, soldiers, and colonial bullshit. Back in the day, I chopped it up with legendary comic artist and militant Indigenous historian Gord Hill to break down the Oka Crisis in under 5 minutes. This was from my old show It's the End of the World as We Know It and I Feel Fine for @subMedia . Still hits hard.
📽️ Watch it. Share it. Never forget that resistance is fucking fertile.

Leafing through this beautiful revised and expanded edition of #The500YearsOfIndigenousResistenceComicBook by #GordHill has my branches just quivering…
When he updates this again, I hope he adds the story of the #Garifuna resistance to French and English rule on so-called #StVincent which was so fierce that they kept the island free of colonizers for appx 100 years and the fort eventually built had its canons facing inland, rather than the usual out to sea, because the true threat was indigenous resistance that than other European war mongers. Mad respect to #Satuye/ #JosephChatoyer, the Garifuna chief who was killed due to betrayal just before a decisive battle 1795, at which point the resistance collapsed. The Garifuna were eventually rounded up and largely forced off the island, endured horrific conditions of forced displacement for several years on a series of essentially desert islands before finally arriving on Honduras coast where they are still found today and from which they have spread in diaspora along the coast, and to the US and Canada, mostly in large cities on the east coast.
