Spread awareness!

IDLE NO MORE
is an indigenous movement to raise awareness on indigenous issues by gaining attention through rallies and social media. What sparked this movement was Theresa Spence, the chief of the Attawapiskat First Nation in northern Ontario, who ended a six-week hunger strike on 01/24 The goal of Spence’s protest was to gain a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Governor-General David Johnston to discuss how to improve the conditions on native reserves. Through facebook, twitter, instagram and other platforms of social media almost every indigenous community in the nation has been involved in this movement. I was able to participate in this movement in New York City early January! The average “American” is clueless as to what Natives endure today let alone even know we still exist. The more awareness we can spread on indigenous issues the more we can continue to sustain our culture for the betterment of our future!!!!!!!!
