In the summer of 1990, the Oka Crisis-or the Kanehsatake
Resistance-exposed a rupture in the relationships between settlers
and Indigenous peoples in Canada. In the wake of the failure of the
Meech Lake Accord, the conflict made visible a contemporary
Indigenous presence that Canadian society had imagined was on the
verge of disappearance. The 78-day standoff also reactivated a long
history of Indigenous people's resistance to colonial policies
aimed at assimilation and land appropriation. The land dispute at
the core of this conflict raises obvious political and judicial
issues, but it is also part of a wider context that incites us to
fully consider the ways in which histories are performed, called
upon, staged, told, imagined, and interpreted. Stories of Oka:
Land, Film, and Literature examines the standoff in relation to
film and literary narratives, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous.
This new English edition of St-Amand's interdisciplinary,
intercultural, and multi-perspective work offers a framework for
thinking through the relationships that both unite and oppose
settler societies and Indigenous peoples in Canada.
