<p> CONVICTED. Ronald Cross, 34, and Gordon Lazore, 32, two
high-profile warriors of the Mohawk tribe; of 20 charges and
nine charges respectively, including assault and weapons
offenses, stemming from an armed standoff with the Canadian army
in 1990 near Montreal that triggered a debate over Indian rights
in Canada and the U.S.; by Quebec Superior Court; in Saint
Jerome. The confrontation between the Mohawks and armed forces
began when Natives from the Kanesatake Reserve mounted a
roadblock on an access road to protest plans by the nearby
village of Oka to expand a golf course on land the Indians said
was theirs.
