		The Oka crisis was sparked off by the decision taken by the Municipality of Oka and Le Club de golf d’Oka Inc. to extend a nine hole golf course originally built in 1959 on land that the Mohawks claim is, and has always been, theirs.
		In the Oka crisis, the authorities throve on these internal differences and used them to discourage and discredit the militant Mohawks and their representatives and ultimately force them "peacefully" out of the Pines.
		At the height of the Oka crisis, the federal government, through its Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, went back on its initial decision not to interfere in Quebec's internal affairs: it purchased the disputed land for $5.2 million and drew up plans to turn it over to the Mohawks.
