　一九九○年的燠熱七月天，加拿大魁北克省的原住民保留區坎那沙塔奇與奧卡村，爆發了原住民摩霍克人與白人之間的土地爭奪戰，不僅引起國際媒體的注目，也使得加拿大白人居民意識到原住民的權益問題。本片導演 Alanis Obomsawin 在摩霍克人與魁北克警方跟加拿大軍隊的衝突對峙現場，日夜拍攝了七十八天，忠實記錄下了當時的狀況，帶引觀眾走入加拿大原住民與歐洲白人糾葛了兩百七十年的血淚辛酸史，讓外人得以較為深入的了解摩霍克人的悲哀，並目睹摩霍克人誓死捍衛家園的堅韌毅力。

　On a hot July day in 1990, an historic confrontation propelled Native issues in Kanehsatake and the village of Oka, Québec, into the international spotlight and into the Canadian conscience. Director Alanis Obomsawin endured 78 nerve-wracking days and nights filming the armed stand-off between the Mohawks, the Québec police and the Canadian army. A powerful feature-documentary emerges that takes you right into the action of an age-old aboriginal struggle. The result is a portrait of the people behind the barricades, providing insight into the Mohawks' unyelding determination to protect their land.

　該事件亦被稱為奧卡危機 Crisis at Oka。由於私人高爾夫球場興建所引發的土地戰爭，引發了警方與摩霍克人長達3個月的對抗。儘管有一名警察喪生，卻也讓全加拿大，甚至於國際間，都對摩霍克人爭取原住民獨立認同的訴求有所重視。也為加拿大的原住民運動開啟了新頁。
　奧卡危機之後，加拿大在解決原住民相關土地爭議、自治以及社經發展上都有驚人的進展。不但34名因持武攻擊及參與暴動而被起訴的摩霍克人被判無罪，加拿大政府也透過協商，提供更多的土地給摩霍克人，也賦與該族更大的土地管理權及治安維護權。
