The Idle No More movement launched by First Nations in Canada is continuing to draw international support amid a hunger strike by Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence. Spence is on the 25th day of her strike in a teepee outside Ottawa’s parliament, where she has been demanding a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. On Thursday, Spence rejected a proposal by First Nations leaders to meet with Harper in a few weeks’ time, saying her failing health required action within 72 hours. Protests in Canada began over a controversial budget bill but have since expanded into a mass movement for political transformation, indigenous rights and environmental justice.
