Idle No More has released a call-out for actions on October 7, 2013. 44 events are being planned across the globe.

The Idle No More October Proclamation reads: “October 7, 1763, marked the signing of the British Royal Proclamation, a historic document that legally mandated Canada to recognize Indigenous land rights.  250 years later, on October 7, 2013… Idle No More calls on all peoples to raise (y)our voices and take action in support of

— Our Land

— Our Water

— Our Bodies

— Our Stories

— Our Future

— Indigenous Sovereignty!”  

Here is a listing of events from across the country and worldwide surrounding the call out, on the weekend leading up to Monday. Please note all times are local to their respective communities.
