14th Jan 2012. Indige­nous Resur­gence Explodes with Idle No More Day of Action

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…

- UNITED we are plan­ning IDLE NO MORE WORLD DAY OF ACTION on Jan­u­ary 28th, 2013 #J28.

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. As a grass­roots move­ment, clear­ly no polit­i­cal orga­ni­za­tion speaks for Idle No More. This move­ment is of the peo­ple… For The Peo­ple! #IDLENOMOREFTP

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 the revi­tal­iza­tion of 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 INM Sup­port­ers.

INM urges the gov­ern­ment of Cana­da to repeal all leg­is­la­tion; which vio­lates Treaties, Indige­nous Sov­er­eign­ty and sub­se­quent­ly Envi­ron­men­tal Pro­tec­tions of land and water.

INM is grate­ful to many lead­ers who have sup­port­ed this vision and the move­ment of the grass­roots peo­ple.

“The Treaties are the last line of defense to pro­tect water and lands from destruc­tion,” stat­ed Oren Lyons, Faith­keep­er Tur­tle Clan, Ononda­ga Nation Coun­cil of Chiefs.
