In Canada is growing a movement of protest - Idle No More Idle No More is an ongoing protest movement originating among the Aboriginal peoples in Canada comprising the First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples and their non-Aboriginal supporters in Canada, and to a lesser extent, internationally. It has consisted of a number of political actions worldwide, inspired in part by the hunger strike of Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence and further coordinated via social media. A reaction to alleged abuses of indigenous treaty rights by the current federal government, the movement takes particular issue with the recent omnibus bill Bill C-45. The movement was initiated by activists Nina Wilson, Sheelah Mclean, Sylvia McAdam and Jessica Gordon in November 2012, during a teach-in at Station 20 West in Saskatoon called "Idle No More", held in response to the Harper government's introduction of Bill C-45. The protest actions have also spread outside of Canada. There were protests in many countries, worldwide, even in Egypt.In the USA were recently protests in many states, Minnesota, Texas, Colorado, Arizona and others. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_No_MoreHere is a video at Farmington, New Mexico Greetings from Germany - cinemo
