According to their mission statement, Idle No More “calls on all people to join in a revolution which honors and fulfills Indigenous sovereignty which protects the land and water…Colonization continues through attacks to Indigenous rights and damage to the land and water. We must repair these violations, live the spirit and intent of the treaty relationship, work towards justice in action, and protect Mother Earth.” Idle No More has grown from its local origins of strong defiance against specific bills passed by Canada’s government under Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and now rallies against the general continued social and economic conditions suffered by First Nations peoples in Canada.
