Why would the Quebec Provincial Government and the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada at the time. A prove of a Golf Course over the the Burial Grounds of my Mohawk Brothers and Sisters?

I remember facing Racism in Regina, Saskatchewan during this period. At the time I was in Elementary School. I was so proud of the Mohawk First Nation for standing up to the French Frogs of Quebec and the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and the Canadian Army.

@TheScrewed0ver I have to say I'm proud of the Indians at Oka for defending their land. But honestly, I just feel that cemeteries are a waste of space.

Those Canadian soldiers look like beasts

I am so proud of those soldiers willing to fight the indians.

This is another case of the Caucasians wanting more of the native land and trying to make it ok with their laws. The land has graves on it. Were they just going to bulldoze the grave? They may think its ok to do this to their own dead but its not ok by any means whatsoever to uproot the dead to make a golf course and anyone who thinks it is ok is delusional and should seek help with their mental and spiritual illness.

Calling in the military? FU! That soldier said,"Motherfucker"?

It was all Native land to begin with until the French showed up. Guess it sort of figures the only war France could win would be one where it was roughly 500 years ahead technologically.

Separatists trying to legitimize themselves by abusing native Americans. Quebec sucks.
