Oien'kón:ton – Hanging Tobacco (2026)

In 1990, the Kanien’kehá:ka people of Kanehsatàke built a blockade to halt the encroachment of a golf course on their sacred homelands. What began as a stand against land theft erupted into a brutal police assault, igniting a 78-day siege that drew fierce solidarity from their sister community, Kahnawàke. This documentary dives into that historic uprising, honoring the enduring spirit of the Warriors—keepers of an age-old custom who carry a tobacco pouch at their side as they rise to shield their nation.
