Oka, Que. (CP) - With a town vowing to cut back a forest this week for
nine new golf holes, Mohawks from nearby Kanesatake settement who claim
the land is theirs have joined environmentalists to try and preserve the
woods.
  "We're on stand-by," Walter David, a worker in the Mohawk band office,
said Saturday.  "Our people are willing to lay down in front of the
bulldozers and be arrested and re-arrested until this damn thing is
settled.
  But Oka Mayor Jean Oullette says the town bought the land this year
for $90,000 from a developer and will lease it to the Oka Golf Club.
