Idle No More is an ongoing protest movement originating among the
Aboriginal peoples in Canada comprising the First Nations, Métis and
Inuit peoples and their non-Aboriginal supporters in Canada, and to a
lesser extent, internationally. It has consisted of a number of
political actions worldwide, inspired in part by the liquid diet
hunger strike of Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence[1] and further
coordinated via social media. A reaction to alleged legislative abuses
of indigenous treaty rights by the current federal government, the
movement takes particular issue with the recent omnibus bill Bill
C-45.
