1 Analyzing and Sources Idle No More Movement, Background Information on the Idle No More Movement Idle No More was created by activists Nina Wilson, Sheelah Mclean, Sylvia McAdam and Jessica Gordon. In November 2012, these four women organized and led a teach- in in Saskatoon in response to the introduction of the omnibus bill C- 45. The bill weakened environmental protection laws, in particular, laws protecting all of Canada's navigable waterways. The bill would limit the scope of protection to only a small number of waterways considered important for navigation. Many of the waterways that would no longer be protected passed through First Nations lands. Many Aboriginal people feel that water is a special, even a sacred, resource that must be preserved for future generations. They felt the change in law jeopardized clean water in Canadian communities. They also felt that the government should have consulted with Aboriginal communities regarding the change in the law since it directly affects their lives. Idle No More protests were timed to coincide with the beginning of a hunger strike by Chief Theresa Spence of Attawapiskat, Ontario and the announcement of her demands for a meeting with Prime Minister Harper and the Governor General to discuss Aboriginal rights. An intense social media campaign was launched to gather supporters both in Canada and worldwide. The two main goals of the movement are the establishment of a nation- to- nation relationship between First Nations and the government of Canada as well as social and environmental sustainability. There are a diverse range of ideas within the First Nations population regarding how these goals would best be achieved. Some of the shared concerns amongst First Nations people and their allies who back the Idle No More movement are the need for treaty modernization; increased land claims; and the end of resource exploitation on First Nations land without benefit to First Nations communities. To promote its cause, Idle No More flash mobs danced in shopping malls and other public spaces. Brief blockades of railway lines and border crossings occurred. All protests and demonstrations were peaceful. The protests have, however, caused polarized debate in the media, bringing out supporters and critics. Excerpted From: News in Review CBC Learning newsinreview.cbclearning.ca

2 Source A: Toronto Star, January 16, 2013 As Aboriginal protesters snarled highway traffic near a busy border crossing Wednesday, some were waving signs with a simple message: We will be heard. And they were heard. From downtown Toronto to Vancouver Island, protesters ramped up weeks of demonstrations to another level, still peaceful, stopping traffic on busy highways and major rail lines, forcing Canadians to stop and listen. Everyone s sick of being oppressed, said Dennis Plain, 36, of Aamjiwnaang First Nation, near Sarnia, as he stood at the foot of the Ambassador Bridge linking Windsor and Detroit. He was among hundreds of protesters who briefly shut down traffic on part of the westbound Hwy. 401 while making their way to the foot of the bridge Wednesday. This is worldwide. We all breathe the same air and drink the same water, Plain said. The protesters then left the bridge and held a rally. Winter has never seen a gathering of First Nations like this to send a strong message that we are united, Delaware Nation Chief Greg Peters told the crowd. Whose land is this? he asked. Our land! the crowd responded. Waabigonii Altiman, a 12- year- old student at Walpole Island Elementary School, northeast of Windsor, drew huge cheers with her message about the importance of picking up the drum instead of the bottle. Our ancestors and the next seven generations of children are counting on us.

After surviving on only broth and medicinal tea for over six weeks, Chief Spence ended the political fast after inspiring major protests across Canada and parallel hunger strikes in support. Chief Spence was hospitalised hours after the strike ended, spending a day and a half under medical supervision for dehydration and deterioration resulting from 44 days without food.

"But we want to be in places that are going to get us noticed."
