Book Launch: When the Pine Needles Fall: Indigenous Acts of Resistance

I attended the book launch for When the Pine Needles Fall: Indigenous Acts of Resistance by Katsi’tsakwas Ellen Gabriel, with Sean Carleton.

In an increasingly polarized climate of direct Indigenous resistance, my opinion is that the siege at Kanehsatà:ke and Kahnawà:ke has not permeated the public consciousness. Listening to the discussion which highlighted the complications and multifaceted interpretation of events in 1990 in a way that influences an observers views towards Indigenous action was thought provoking.
