This paper considers how changes in the keywords used in the headlines and captions change the implied meaning of political conflict imagery. Drawing on the media and social movement framing literature, I argue that changes in the text could prompt a visually crystallized and uniform reading of imagery or a visually pluralist and diverse reading of imagery. I consider these alternatives by analyzing the headlines and captions that accompanied an iconic Canadian news photograph showing a Mohawk warrior and Canadian soldier staring at each other during the height of the 1990 “Oka Crisis”. I find that the keywords generally favored the non-Indigenous side of the conflict and that over time there was a visual crystallization of the image's implied meaning
