Idle No More Calls For Mass Action On October 7, 2013

September 8, 2013 Krystalline Kraus, www.rabble.ca , ,
Idle No More organizers recently attended and participated in an important meeting of sixty Indigenous land defenders and their allies representing front line struggles from across Canada. The meeting named by organizers “Building Unity to Action” took place on August 17, 2013 in Toronto, Ontario on the traditional Anishinaabe Territory of the New Credit First Nation. This was a strategic & tactical planning meeting organized by Idle No More-Toronto and Defenders of the Land to crystallize a plan for fall action. One of the primary outcomes of this historic meeting was consensus by all participants to collectively put out a call to all Native and non-Native supporters to join in a mass day of action on Oct 7th, 2013. This day marks the 250th Anniversary of the British Royal Proclamation, which lead to the founding of this country they call Canada - a country founded on indigenous lands.

Idle No More Protest for Missing Native Women

Last week, we attended an Idle No More protest centred on the problem of missing and murdered native women in Canada. While sitting in a drum circle for a peace pipe ceremony on the lawn of a police station, exhaling pipe smoke, a white Astro van was parked nearby with the faces and names of murdered women collaged on the side. The Idle No More Toronto demonstration departed the police station and marched to Highway 401 for a banner drop, designed to call attention to the recent deaths of two native women. The protest was organized Idle No More activist John Fox, whose daughter, Cheyenne Fox, a young mother, was recently found dead at the bottom of a 24 floor apartment tower after an alleged violent encounter.
