This affecting film from acclaimed director of KANEHSATAKE: 270 YEARS OF RESISTEANCE, Alanis Obomsawin (Abenaki), profiles a young, courageous Kahnawake Mohawk woman who was arrested after a 78 day armed standoff in 1990 between the Mohawks and the Canadian federal government. Kahentiiosta is detained four days longer than other women because the court refuses to accept her aboriginal name. MY NAME IS KAHENTIIOSTA is a compelling look at a people’s movement for self-determination and one young woman’s refusal to capitulate in the face of great adversity.
