The Rotisken’rakéhte,[2] also known as the Mohawk Warrior Society (Template:Lang-moh) and the Kahnawake Warrior Society, is a Mohawk group which seeks to assert Mohawk authority over their traditional lands, including the use of tactics such as roadblocks, evictions, and occupations.[3]
The society was founded in 1971 in Kahnawake, Québec, Canada.[4] The society first gained notoriety in 1973 when they, along with American Indian Movement activists, held a standoff with the Quebec Provincial Police at Kahnawake, and another in Oka, Québec in 1990.[3] The members of this society are known as Warriors.
