(Ignore prior notice about this happening on Sun. at 5 pm.)
Idle No More is a rapidly spreading international indigenous movement started in Canada. The Canadian Harper government’s Omnibus Bill C-45, passed Dec. 4; buried in 100’s of pages is the removal of federal protection from 30,000 lakes and many more rivers (only 97 lakes and 62 rivers will remain under federal protection). This was done so that Enbridge, Halliburton and the like can frack for natural gas to export to China and Europe. During fracking, benzine and other toxic chemicals are shot into the earth and pollute water. Corporations building pipeline will no longer have to prove they won’t harm the environment or waterways.
Women are driving this movement to protect Mother Earth and water. Chief Theresa Spence is in the 18th Day of her hunger strike. She will be recognized at a pow wow at the American Indian Center that starts at 7pm Sat. and lasts all weekend.
