This crisis caused a confrontation involving the Quebec provincial police, the Canadian armed forces and the Mohawk

These resistance movements, Oka, Gustafsen Lake, and Burnt Church each had their own reasons as to why they started, and how the First Nations people fought for what they believed in. They fought for their rights to fish, to keep their sacred land safe and to be able to use sacred land for their Sun Dances.
