Public ISBD Title : Alanis Obomsawin-The Collection : "My Name is Kahentiiosta" & "Spudwrench-Kahnawake Man" Material Type: printed text Authors: Alanis Obomsawin, Author Publisher: National Film Board of Canada Publication Date: 2008 ISBN (or other code): 978-0-7722-1219-1 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Audio/visual Indigenous Peoples and First Peoples Abstract: My Name is Kahentiiosta : This affecting film , profiles a young, courageous Kahnawake Mohawk woman who was arrested after a 78 day armed standoff in 1990 between the Mohawks and the Canadian federal government. Kahentiiosta is detained four days longer than other women because the court refuses to accept her aboriginal name. MY NAME IS KAHENTIIOSTA is a compelling look at a peopleís movement for self-determination and one young womanís refusal to capitulate in the face of great adversity. Spudwrench - Kahnawake Man : Meet Randy Horne, high steel worker from the Mohawk community of Kahnawake, near Montreal. As a defender of his people's culture and traditions, he was known as 'Spudwrench' during the 1990 Oka crisis. Horne was behind the barricades, resisting the efforts of the municipality of Oka to expand a golf course onto sacred Mohawk land. Horne is one of many Mohawk high steel workers who have travelled the continent, working on some of the world's tallest buildings--but have never lost touch with their roots. Spudwrench - Kahnawake Man is both a portrait of Horne and the generations of daring Mohawk construction workers that have preceded him, and a unique look behind the barricades at one man's impassioned defence of sacred territory.

Rocks at Whiskey Trench / Alanis Obomsawin

Public ISBD Title : Rocks at Whiskey Trench Material Type: printed text Authors: Alanis Obomsawin, Author Publisher: National Film Board of Canada Publication Date: 2000 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Audio/visual Colonialism, Imperialism & World Politics Indigenous Peoples and First Peoples Abstract: Doc., 105 min. On August 28, 1990, a convoy of 75 cars left the Mohawk community of Kahnawake and crossed Montreal Mercier Bridge--straight into an angry mob that pelted the vehicles with rocks. The targets of this violence were Mohawk women, children and elders leaving Kahnawake, in fear of a possible advance by the Canadian army. In Rocks at Whiskey Trench, Mohawks remember the terror as windows shattered around them. Police had orders not to arrest anyone--and though they stood by during the rock-throwing, they were able to prevent the mob from reaching the cars and attacking their occupants. This video is the fourth in Alanis Obomsawin s landmark series on the Mohawk rebellions that shook Canada in 1990. A painstakingly researched social document, the film looks back at the events surrounding the August 28 attack, and delves into the history of Kahnawake and the consequences of the appropriation of land that have shrunk its territory by more than two-thirds over the last 300 years. Time and healing circles have helped close the wounds, but it will take much longer for Kahnawake residents to forgive and forget.
