Canada's Idle No More movement began as a small social media campaign -
armed with little more than a hashtag and a cause. But it has grown
into a large indigenous movement, with protests and ceremonial
gatherings held almost daily in many of the country's major cities.
The movement is spearheaded by Theresa Spence, the leader of the
Attawapiskat, a small native band in northern Ontario. Spence is now 22
days into a hunger strike on Ottawa's Victoria Island just across from
the Canadian Parliament.
