OKA -Kanesatake Resistance | 124

In 1990, a plan to expand a golf course in Oka, Quebec led to a 78 day standoff with the Mohawks of Kanesatake who claimed the disputed land belonged to them. During the tense standoff a provincial police officer was killed, mobs of locals burned effigies and harassed Indigenous people and ultimately Canadian Forces soldiers were deployed to the area. In this episode of History of the 90s we look back at what led up to the Kanestake Resistance and how it forced Canada to confront a new reality in its relationship with Indigenous people.

I started listening to this podcast at the height of Covid lockdown. And I’m so glad I did, because it’s become one of my favourite podcasts ever! Every episode, Kathy is so informative, and every episode is so intriguing and it’s the beginning of the rabbit hole of searching on the Internet of these historic events, and learning more about them. I look forward to every episode of this podcast, and I 100% recommend it to anybody who loves history and pop culture!
Fantastic!
