They Do Not Have Our Consent.
Idle No More is a grassroots resistance movement started by three First Nations women and one ally in Canada in December 2012. The movement was responding to the Federal Government's continuous abuses on Indigenous treaty rights, along with changing regulations in the Navigation Protection Act and the Environmental Assessment Act. This led to numerous protests, occupations, hunger-strikes, marches, and blockades across Canada. Idle No More has since become a global movement which calls on all people to "join in a revolution which honors and fulfills Indigenous sovereignty which protects the land and water." Many local chapters of Idle No More have been founded and are dedicated to upholding nation to nation treaties, as well as protecting the rights of Mother Earth and the coming generations.
