Gerald F. Reid. Kahnawà:ke: Factionalism, Traditionalism, and Nationalism in a Mohawk Community. (The Iroquoians and Their World.) Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press. 2004. Pp. xxiv, 235. $49.95.

The European invasion of the Americas that began more than five centuries ago has always forced indigenous societies to choose between confronting or cooperating with the newcomers. Native peoples' options narrowed once Euro-Americans became numerically dominant and began to fashion systems of attempted control of indigenous communities. Nowhere have these choices been more complex than in the Iroquois settlements of what is now Quebec. There the intrusive policies of European and colonial governments were reinforced by campaigns by Christian missionaries to convert the people of the longhouse, who established reserve communities where the Christian, usually Roman Catholic, presence was powerful. One of these settlements, Kahnawà:ke (earlier known usually to non-Natives as Caughnawaga), on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River across from Montreal, has played an especially prominent role in Native-Canadian government relations since the middle of the twentieth century. During a series of confrontations, the most dramatic of which was Kahnawà:ke's support of its sister community Kanehsatà:ke in what was known as the Oka crisis of 1990, Kahnawà:ke was noteworthy both for the militancy of its response and the internal divisions that bedeviled the community.
