Wakasa

Dorvan V colonist who resists removal

Wakasa is a member of the Native American community on Dorvan V who refuses to accept relocation when the planet is ceded to the Cardassians in the seventh-season episode Journey's End.

Wakasa appears in Journey's End. He belongs to the colony that settled Dorvan V after generations of searching for a home, and sits with the leader Anthwara in the meetings at which Jean-Luc Picard explains that a new treaty has placed their world on the Cardassian side of the border.
Where Anthwara argues from history and patience, Wakasa is blunter, making clear that the colonists will not be moved and are ready to defend the village. When Gul Evek's troops arrive to survey the settlement, he is among those who confront them.
The stand-off ends without bloodshed when the colonists agree to stay under Cardassian jurisdiction, giving up Federation citizenship rather than their land.
