Volume VI Number 4 . . . . October 15, 1999
Nearly a decade has passed since the 1990 Oka crisis, enough time to view people and events with
some degree of historical perspective. Spudwrench: Kahnawake Man profiles one of the
Mohawk who resisted the expansion of a golf course onto their sacred lands. Like many
Mohawk, Randy Horne (a.k.a. "Spudwrench") is a high-steel construction worker from the
Kahnawake community near Montreal. These men have traveled throughout North America
working on tall buildings - in this video, we see Randy and co-workers commute on weekends
from a job in New York City to their Canadian homes - but their connection to their families,
traditions, and home-land are as strong and powerful as they are.
