KANEHSATAKE: 270 YEARS OF RESISTANCE | Why Did the World Watch Oka? | #nfb
We may think of Oka as old news, but it isn't. We also like to think of #Canada as a sensible friendly place, but Americans only spat at Ruby Bridges; Canadians hurled chunks of concrete at the women children and elderly leaving #Kanehsatake, killing one grandfather. I saw myself a Canadian 'soldier' ram the butt of his rifle into the belly of an elderly woman full force, thereby losing 100% of my respect for our army. Just doing' our jobs, they said.

12 days, thousands of kilometers dodging potholes and cynical corporate PR—from Nehirowisiw Territory to Kanehsatake, swing through Wemotaci, then Mashteuiatsh—just to film land defenders giving CN and the clear-cutting psychopaths the one-finger salute. This clip, They Stopped the Train to Defend the Forest, is a taste of our full doc Defenders of the Forest, dropping soon and free for your solidarity screenings. Stay woke (LOL) and check 🔗 https://amplifierfilms.ca — this isn’t tourism, it’s frontline Indigenous resistance.

OK I swear this is the last post I’ll make about the Oka Crisis this year… but it’s important to remember.
Alanis Obomsawin’s Kanehsatà:ke: 270 Years of Resistance didn’t just blow my mind — it shaped the way I approach filmmaking. It showed me that a film could be more than a record — it could be a weapon. A document of resistance that outlives the moment and keeps feeding the fire.
I wrote up some thoughts about that, and shared a few pieces I’ve made over the years about the so-called Oka Crisis — clips with Clifton Nicholas, Gord Hill and Ellen Gabriel.
Check it out here:

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.

This shit keeps coming back, and for good reason. We still gotta remind folks: protect your fuckin’ identity — not just at protests, but at land defense camps, blockades, occupations — anywhere people are resisting.
With AI surveillance ghouls like Palantir feeding the beast, and fascism getting comfy in the U.S., the need for anonymity is life or death.
The Warriors at #Kanehsatake knew this. Learned it through struggle. My homie Clifton breaks it down in this clip. This ain’t just some Indigenous issue — this is for everyone who stands up and fights back.
So mask the fuck up. Sunglasses. Hood. No easy targets. Stay wild. Stay free.

35 years ago, the colonial state laid siege to the Mohawk community of Kanehsatà:ke. Tanks, guns, and lies were deployed against land defenders holding sacred ground. That summer became a spark — not just for Indigenous resistance here, but for every struggle against settler colonialism.
This is the first in a series of drops marking that anniversary.
Narrated by my homie Clifton Ariwakehte Nicholas, who was there, behind the lines, holding it down. In this one, he breaks down the story of the Warrior Flag — how it went from the Pines to Standing Rock, to Palestine, to anywhere people rise up for their land and dignity.The Siege of Kanehsatà:ke wasn’t the end.
It was the warning.#Kanehsatake #Oka35 #WarriorFlag #LegacyOfDefiance #IndigenousResistance #LandBack #subMedia #Unceded #NoJusticeOnStolenLand

What does a kid hurling himself into the Mediterranean in occupied Palestine have in common with a Mohawk kid diving into the river at Kanehsatà:ke?
Everything.
Joy stolen between airstrikes.
Freedom found between raids.
Laughter echoing off the water while the land beneath is colonized.This clip is from our next film, A Red Road to the West Bank — a journey of solidarity between Indigenous struggle and Palestinian resistance. Between memory and the now. Between all of us who refuse to be erased.
🎥 Watch it.

Jeff "never puts away anything, especially oven mitts" Cliff, Bringer of Nightmares 🦝🐙 🇱🇧🧯 🇨🇦 @[email protected] ·#Kanehsatake, who sounds like they were staying out of this thing until the #Tyendinaga arrests happened...now has a blockade.
We're almost right back to #Oka again.
One thing is not going to work: Trudeau arresting his way out of #firstnations discontent in #canada.
