Twelve-year-old Beans is on the edge: torn between innocent childhood and reckless adolescence; forced to grow up fast and become the tough Mohawk warrior she needs to be during the Oka Crisis, the turbulent Indigenous uprising that tore Quebec and Canada apart for 78 tense days in the summer of 1990.

Interesting that you mention the Mohawk tribe and their protest, I just learned about it earlier today from watching the film Beans.

Highly recommend all Canadians take some time to read about the Oka Crisis, very interesting part of Canada's complicated history with indigenous relations. There's a 2020 film called Beans about a 12 year old Mohawk girl living through the heart of the crisis, thoughtful and powerful Canadian cinema.
