    I was at McMaster University taking the Addictions Counselling Course and there were many natives there. On one Sunday, when the crisis had first begun, we all met for prayer. We kept praying daily till the course ended. I rejoiced when it was ended...I spoke about it in my classes (I taught ESL) and the kids all loved 'Lasagna'...this is one of the saddest moments in the 20th Century of Canada, and I am disgusted that Canada's army had so little respect for the members of a nation within our nation. That the judge balked at using any other name but an English name is pure bigotry. I am so happy she stood up to them and did not back down. A name is important. 'They already took so much from us', was a good reply. (tears) Trish

    I remember as if it were yesterday - the day the Oka Crisis ended --- I was on the way to a Reserve in Alberta -where I was working--listening to the radio - had to stop the car and weep -- weep for the courageous acts, for the deaf ears, and for the need of people who had defended their land to go back and look after families and life... This film brought it all back --- it also gives it such a hopeful spin. Thank you.
