Idle No More (Westfield Mall, Saturday Dec 29, 3 PM)

Update:

FLASH MOB COASTAL JAM AND ROUND DANCE @ westfield mall in Olympia Saturday the 29th at 3pm. Be there to support

-------------------------

Support for the Idle No More movement, a "campaign of First Nations protests" in response to recent Canadian government actions, has spread to western Washington, including:

Most likely Olympia will see public expressions of support also.

Many support events are happening at shopping malls.  Here locally some people are understandably anxious at malls already and are reacting with fear when surprised by these events.  I want to help pass on some information so everyone knows what is going on. No need for fear, the movement is peaceful, and worthy of support.

The Twitter hashtag #idlenomore is actively in public use, you don't need a Twitter account in order to follow along.

The home blog Idle No More at this time opens right up with an audio essay done by Jian Ghomeshi of CBC Radio, worth listening to either through the blog or through the CBC audio page.

Canada's "Idle No More" Movement Spreads Like Wildfire

David Suzuki Foundation letter of support for Idle No More

Maybe as @BigIndianGyasi suggests there can also be financial and political pressure put on Canada:

My point is not that we shouldn't rounddance-we absolutely should. But we ALSO have to somehow affect Canadian interests

In addition to celebrating our culture, which rounddance does, we have to hurt Canada's pocketbook. Otherwise it's just songs

We MUST continue the cultural education...absolutely necessary. But we also have to step up the financial/political pressure
