A scarce pamphlet describing the occupation of Anicinabe Park in Kenora, Ontario, in 1974. The occupation, which lasted for several weeks from July to August, is credited by some as the beginning of a movement to reclaim indigenous lands. The August 19, 1974 issue of the New York Times states that “The Ojibway say the park was Indian land sold illegally to the city of Kenora by the Department of Indian Affairs in 1959. The militants also demand social reforms for some 7,000 Indians, most of them impoverished, in Kenora and nearby reserves.” This title includes an interview with Louis Cameron, the leader of the Ojibway Warriors Society, and a manifest of the Native Peoples’ Caravan.
