The camera of Alanis Obomsawin does not simply see. It speaks and listens to North America's First Peoples, the Aboriginal voices so often overlooked. The 1990 Oka Crisis re-ignited historic First Nations grievances and galvanized collective resolve. The immediate subject of this collection is the 78-day resistance of the Mohawks of Kanehsatake to the expropriation of land by the town of Oka, which planned to build a 9-hole golf course on burial grounds. But this quartet of films reveals the almost three centuries of Native resistance. Alanis Obomsawin is a cultural leader of fearlessness and grace and one of the most important filmmakers of our time. Her lifelong documentary project finds vibrant expression and focus within this remarkable collection.
