The 1990 stand-off between two Mohawk communities — Kanehsatà:ke and Kahnawá:ke — and federal, provincial, and military authorities over the annexation of Indigenous land, dubbed the Oka Crisis, captured the attention of Canada and the world. In her debut feature, Tracey Deer puts a poignant and personal spin on these events by recounting them through the eyes of a 12-year-old Mohawk girl named Beans (Kiawentiio, in a phenomenal performance). A promising student, Beans faces familiar adolescent problems, but she also experiences violent racism first-hand — and bravely forges her own path. With its sensitive portrayal of internal and community conflicts gleaned from lived experience, Deer’s film blazes a new trail for the next generation of Indigenous filmmakers.
