Native News Network Staff in Native Challenges. Discussion »
FIRST NATIONS, CANADA Idle No More grassroots
founders and organizers from across Canada, in solidarity with Common
Causes – a new initiative bringing together social justice,
environmental, labour and other activist groups – are planning a
national and worldwide day of action on January 28th. This day of action
will peacefully protest attacks on democracy, Indigenous sovereignty,
human rights and environmental protections when Canadian MPs return to
the House of Commons on January 28th.
Worldwide Day of Action January 28th
As a grassroots movement, clearly no political organization speaks
for Idle No More. This movement is of the people for the people.
The vision of Idle No More revolves around Indigenous ways of knowing
rooted in Indigenous sovereignty to protect water, air, land and all
creation for future generations. The Conservative government bills
beginning with Bill C-45 threaten Treaties and this Indigenous vision of
sovereignty. The goal of the movement is education and to revitalize
Indigenous peoples through awareness and empowerment.
Idle No More has successfully encouraged knowledge sharing of
Indigenous sovereignty and environmental protections. This message has
been heard around the world and the world is watching how Canada
responds to the message sent by many Idle No More supporters.
Idle No More urges the government of Canada to repeal all legislation
which violates Treaties, Indigenous sovereignty and subsequently
environmental protections of land and water. Idle No More is grateful to
many leaders who have supported this vision and the movement of the
grassroots people.
