There was an 'Idle No More' walk here in Island Lake MB today
3 reservations-Wassagamack, St. Therese Point & Garden Hill
it was awesome! despite the wolves that are around, we had guns & skidoos just in case we got attacked by them.


Nice to see a member of BG whos part of the Idle No More movement!

I was reading about the walk today!

It is wonderful to see youth getting passionate about their culture and heritage.

I went to the round dance, drum circle and teach-in at a local university. It was wonderful to see the turn out!

I have no idea what the purpose of this protest is. My background in sales and marketing is telling me that the organizers of this movement could use some sales and marketing professionals to help them with messaging.

It is quite a simple message. It is a grass roots movement focused on Indigenous rights and encouraging the federal government to respect the treaties between the First Nations and the government.
