Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance1993

"Bolt Pin":
They started putting the plastic handcuffs on, and then we got inside and somebody had a fingernail clipper. And as they came in we were snipping them off. So, we had a whole bunch of these plastic bands. Finally, then I threw 'em out the window. A little while later, all of a sudden the MP pass by and sees 'em on the ground; I don't know if he knew where it came from. The MP says, 'if anyone makes a move, shoot 'em. Just shoot 'em.' Now if he'd have known nobody had handcuffs on, we could've jumped him. But it was over. It was finished when they found out that we were family people. They thought we were gonna have records as long as our arm. How it's gonna be written in history, if I was a soldier, I'd be ashamed to say I was in Oka or Kahnesatake.
