From the inside: "Joe David is a Kanehsatake Mohawk schooled in the traditions of the Longhouse. He is an artist - he used to sculpt and paint but now due to paralysis, is looking into other mediums. Hoe participated as a Warrior in the resistance of the summer of 1990, known as the "Oka Crisis" or the "Siege of Kanehsatake". In June of 1999, Joe was the victim of police brutality. He was shot twice by the Kanehsatake Mohawk Police after a tense twelve-hour standoff. ....Since justice for Joe goes beyond individual compensation to the sovereign rights of all Indigenous peoples, this pamphlet will examine not only the details of the police operation that led to Joe's shooting, but also the methods by which Canada continues to colonize the First Nations today...."
