Flashmob at UW: Idle No More
| March 18, 2013 | Posted by Misha under Uncategorized |
The First Nations group at the University of Washington has demonstrated “solidarity” in support for the First Nations people of Canada. The Idle No More campaign is in protest of Bill C-45, a law which would effectively terminate Indigenous peoples’ rights in Canada. There is growing support from Native Americans in the United States and even international support around the world for the rights of Indigenous rights.
In the following Youtube link, you will find a link to the “flashmob” or Round dance on the campus of UW, taking place in Red Square in January of 2013.
A special thanks to: Shanoa Pinkham, First Nations @ UW, and all who participated!

We all have a reciprocal relationship with Mother Earth, for we care for her and in turn she cares for us! There is a need, more than ever to respect the resources of Earth. We shall not exploit the precious elements of Earth, no longer for they may run short in returning to us. I feel that this following image was too good not to share! Please join in the support for Idle No More!

Idle No More Voices

This is such an empowering and stong young lady, Zondra “Zoey” Roy, with kind words for the future. She has experienced and participated in many “Idle No More” matters; some including visiting chemical-contamination sites on the Canadian Reserve, Blockades, and joining in song with a hand drum. Zoey is an enthisiest for the rights of Indigenous peoples and challenges us all to “wake up” and recognize the future happenings.
Idle No More is a grassroots movement that cannot go ignored.
First Nations people cannot be ignored.
Our Mother Earth cannot be ignored.
… Bill C-45 cannot be ignored.
