MOHAWK
OKA, QUEBEC, JANUARY 19, 2010---An SQ patrol car turns onto highway 344 at the Mohawk community of Kahnesatake, just outside Oka, after the Mohawk erected signs yesterday instructing a developer not to build houses on disputed land across the street from their ancestral burial ground, which was the flashpoint of the 1990 Oka crisis. The Kanesatake band council referred to events during the 1990 Oka crisis when it sent a letter last month to Norfolk's owner, Normand Ducharme, demanding he not develop the land.
