Idle No More

Idle No More is a movement that started in Canada by four women. The movement started because of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who proposed the C-45 bill which would infringe on land, water, and treaty rights. Due to media such as Facebook and twitter, the movement spread throughout the whole world, inspiring people to rise up and resist. 

The movement then spread to not only Indigenous people in Canada, but to Indigenous people in the United States, Australia, South America, and the list goes on. The movement became one of the largest fasting rising movement due to Social Media. People in the United States showed our solidarity with the Indigenous people by attending rally's and protest all around major and non major cities. 

The movement still continues, as indigenous people of the world continue to fight and decolonize. They movement has sparked other movements as well. It has inspired other communities and youth such as a group called Urban Native Era. 

Urban Native Era is a movement that brings awareness to on going Indigenous Issues happening in the United States. They began with attending rally's and protest of Idle No More in the United States. They were able to capture and share the photos of different communities, coming together and spreading the awareness this issue. 
Urban Native Era has become more than just a movement to spread awareness, but a movement to inspire youth to take charge in who they are as indigenous peoples. 

Idle No More changed the way we are and continues to spread every day.
