The confrontation between the Mohawk community, the Québec Provincial Police, and the Canadian Army was sparked by a dispute over a Mohawk land claim that included an ancestral burial ground and a private developer's plan to extend a golf course on this same land. This led to a 78-day standoff known as the Oka Crisis in 1990.
