ic Native Students\u2019 Union invite you to attend our march to the Legislature on Saturday, January 26. This youth-led event is part of the ever-growing Idle No More movement that demands the federal government respect the treaty and human rights of First Nations in the land we now call Canada.<\/p>\n

Idle No More has become a national, internationally recognized movement for indigenous rights. The movement demands consultation, respect, and representation for First Nations, especially focusing on the health of our environment, with which the cultures and practices of First Nations are intrinsically tied.<\/p>\n

Although Idle No More seeks to dismantle colonialism and settler privilege, the movement is incredibly inclusive. All humans should be able to live, work, and play together, sharing resources and treating each other and the environment with respect.<\/p>\n

Settlers, people whose ancestry is not native to this land, have an important part to play in this movement as allies to First Nations.<\/p>\n

Calling out and taking apart privilege is often an uncomfortable process for settlers, but this movement calls for stepping outside of one\u2019s comfort zone to create a just society.<\/p>\n

Please join us at Centennial Square at 10:30 am on Saturday, January 26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
