Listen ""We were going to hold our ground": Behind the lines of a Mohawk protest"
Episode Synopsis
Tracey Deer is an award-winning director who grew up on a Mohawk reservation near Montreal, Canada. When she was 12-years-old, a nearby reservation became involved in a land dispute known as the Oka Crisis. Developers wanted to build a golf course on an indigenous burial ground, and the Mohawk organised a protest camp. Things escalated into an armed standoff, and the violence that ensued would deeply traumatise Tracey. Now she’s made a film, Beans, a semi-fictional account of her experiences during the crisis.
