Protest
A prolonged dispute between Mohawk Indians at the Kanesatake reserve near Oka, Quebec and town authorities who wanted to expand a nine-hole golf course onto land claimed by the Mohawks erupted into an open gun battle. Members of the reserve had blocked off a highway in March to protest the expansion of the golf course, and the Surete du Quebec (provincial police) finally decided to end the blockade at the request of Oka Mayor Jean Ouellette after the Mohawks refused to obey a court order to open the road. In the early morning, 100 heavily-armed police officers attempted to storm the barricades. The Mohawks, bolstered by heavily-armed members of the Mohawk Warriors, repelled two attacks, and a standoff ensued, but not before a police officer had been killed. The Mohawk Warriors set up another roadblock at nearby Kahnawake, cutting off the access road to the Mercier bridge, causing huge traffic jams for south shore residents commuting to Montreal. It was said that the actual cause of the dispute was the attempt of the Quebec government to force the Mohawks to speak French, which the English-speaking Indians refused to do.

In response to West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl’s fatheaded warnings before the conference that the prospect of global warming was "a threat to all mankind," the U.S. opposed strict goals for reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases. Any commitment to reduce such emissions was postponed until 1992. The leaders did pledge to develop strategies for worldwide reforestation and to help Brazil save its
