La crise d'Oka: au-delà des barricades
By Emilie Guilbeault-Cayer. 2013
" La crise d'Oka de 1990 marque, par son caractère violent et sa durée, un tournant dans l'histoire des relations…
entre l'État québécois et les Autochtones. Plusieurs affrontements et 78 jours de crise laissent un souvenir amer, tant du côté des populations que chez les responsables politiques. À la suite de cet été des Indiens, plusieurs questions demeurent sans réponse et certains enjeux restent encore incompris, notamment la gestion de la crise par le gouvernement provincial. Lors du conflit, l'attitude des responsables politiques semble chaotique, et leurs choix, discutables. Ces réactions répondent à une lecture bien précise de la situation, mais les motivations qui ont guidé leurs actions sont encore mal connues à ce jour. Émilie Guilbeault-Cayer utilise la crise d'Oka comme révélateur de l'évolution des relations entre l'État québécois et les Autochtones. Un sujet qui demeure criant d'actualité.

up a normal life. But when ISIS insurgents began attacking local populations in Iraq and elsewhere, Hillier, a long-time soldier, felt he had to join in the action, so he sold his truck, lied to his parents about where he was going and became the first Canadian to volunteer to fight ISIS in Iraq. For three months, Dillon accompanied the Kurdish army as they fought a series of battles against the Islamic State throughout northern Iraq. During his mission, Dillon saw combat, experienced life in the trenches, partnered with a former US Marine, had a bounty placed on his head and learned an important truth: that in the chaos of war, the difference between life and death is measured in inches, and some things can never be forgotten. 2016.Open road to faraway: escapes from Nazi POW camps, 1941-1945
