The Oka Crisis began in 1990 when the town of Oka, Quebec, attempted to expand a Golf course onto land claimed by the Mohawk community of Kanesatake, which included a burial ground. Tensions escalated into a standoff between the Mohawks, provincial police, and the Canadian Army, lasting 78 days. The crisis ended in September 1990 when the military intervened, and negotiations led to the eventual withdrawal of the police and the establishment of a land claim process. The incident highlighted issues of Indigenous rights and land sovereignty in Canada.
