The events at Oka in 1990 saw the might of the Canadian Armed Forces in the service of the governments of both Quebec and Canada confront some 40 armed Mohawk "Warriors" who were defending their local community's resistance against a further colonial encroachment on their native lands. The events of that summer have etched themselves indelibly into the minds of North Americans as the latest episode in the continuing 500-year history of "Indian wars" in the Americas.

The day after the military stand-off at Oka ended, "Lasagna," one of the leaders of the Mohawks' armed resistance, was "unmasked" as Ronald Cross--a man with no criminal record, no connections to the Mafia or any other "criminal underground," and no military service record in Viet Nam or any other country in the world. Where, then, had these "common knowledge" rumours originated? And why was there such a high degree of media complicity in the "public information strategies" of the governments of Quebec, Canada and the USA ? Where, indeed, did the inflammatory media tag "Warriors" come from, when the closest word in the Mohawk language defining such a concept means, simply and literally, "the men of the community"?
