Days of Protest
Young Activists Come Together
From: Unsettling Canada
$1.40
Days of Protest explores the Idle No More movement in Canada. This chapter discusses the new grassroots spirit of activism of Idle No More, the Defenders of the Land, and the January 2013 Day of Action. To avoid the worst, the author says that Canadian allies—including church, union, community, and environmental groups— need to help to educate the Canadian population about Indigenous rights and about Canada’s colonial position toward Indigenous peoples.
