The botched 1990 police raid on the Mohawk's barricade at Oka came as no surprise to the Natives, said the first Indian to testify at a coroner's inquest into the death of a Quebec police officer.

Eba Beauvais, who had been on the barricades for more than three weeks before the July 11 raid, said the expected Quebec provincial police to rush them that morning.

The Mohawks, who had held tobacco-burning ceremonies every morning at sunrise, were awake and aware of the gathering police force as officers showed up to take the blockade down.

A recessed economy and stiffer competition for limited space in university have resulted in an increase in racial discrimination against Native students.

Loneliness and isolation usually accompanied a diagnosis of tuberculosis for Indian and Inuit people, who were forced to spend their recovery times in sanatoriums hundreds of miles from home.

Before effective antibiotic treatments came into use in the 1960s, that stay could last years, and Indigenous peoples were usually surrounded by a strange environment and people who did not even speak the same language.
