Idle No More – videos, articles, and other links

January 1, 2013

December was a very active month, with the Idle No More indigenous
sovereignty movement (#idlenomore) igniting across Turtle Island (aka
North America) and Chief Theresa Spence’s hunger strike for a
nation-to-nation meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper (pm at pm.gc.ca)
and the Queen’s representative in Canada (Governor General David Johnston
-- info at gg.ca).

While Indigenous peoples continue to lead struggles against environmental
degradation and social injustices, non-natives have an important role to
play in the success of the Idle No More movement. As Pamela Palmater said
“After all, First Nations, with our constitutionally protected aboriginal
and treaty rights, are Canadians’ last best hope to protect the lands,
plants and animals from complete destruction -- which doesn’t just benefit
our children, but the children of all Canadians.”

> Dozens more videos, insightful articles, and other resources are posted
on IPSMO’s web page devoted to Idle No More, at

Please share these links via your networks, and help us educate other
Canadians on the significance of supporting Indigenous Sovereignty for our
collective future.
