The tense standoff between government forces and indigenous citizens in Oka, Quebec held Canada’s attention during the summer of 1990. The dispute shocked the nation and was epitomized in this famous photograph by Shaney Komulainen. The confrontation between soldier Patrick Cloutier and Brad Laroque symbolized this important moment. This controversial photograph also caused unexpected ramifications; the photojournalist was forced to testify about her role in the situation and was badly injured in a car crash on her way to court.

This photograph is part of a limited edition, each printed one at a time, signed by the photographer and numbered sequentially once printed.

This work was printed circa 2006.

Please note: this work is unframed.
