Mohawk Warrior and Canadian Soldier at Oka

Mohawks near Oka, Quebec, protested against the expansion of a golf course and the development of condominiums on land they claimed belonged to the Kanesatake Reserve. The RCMP and the Canadian armed forces were brought in to assist the Quebec police. On September 26 the heated 78-day Mohawk protest ended with the cancellation of the development.
