KANEHSATAKE: LEGACY OF DEFIANCE
🎙️ Narrated by Clifton Ariwakehte Nicholas

As we approach the 35th anniversary of the Oka Crisis—or what many call the Siege of Kanehsatà:ke—we're launching a series of short videos exploring the symbols, spirit, and survival of warrior culture.

In this first clip, Clifton Ariwakehte Nicholas shares the story of the Warrior Flag—how it emerged from Mohawk resistance and grew into a global symbol of Indigenous defiance. From the barricades at Kanehsatà:ke to struggles across Turtle Island and beyond, the flag speaks to something that can’t be extinguished: the will to defend land, language, and life.

This isn’t just about memory.
This is about continuity.

Note: Clifton does not represent the Warrior Society or Louis Karoniaktajeh Hall. What he shares here comes from his personal experience and understanding, as someone who lived through it.
