Idle No More: The Rise of the Canadian Native Rights-Based Movement to Protect Our Commons

Clayton Thomas-Muller is wise beyond his years and an unmatched strategist.  His National Bioneers keynote talk of Canada’s rising Native-led rights-based movement, supported by labor, civil society, students and other grassroots groups to take on the Canadian petro-state is truly riveting. His organizations, Idle No More and Defenders of the Land are leading the last best effort to save indigenous lands and the health of its people from the extractive industries and the banks that finance them. His keynote talk from the Bioneers main stage will be shown on Friday, October 24^th at the Central Coast Bioneers Conference.
