In Canada, as in several countries (Australia, Brazil, and the USA), the international environmental movement has fashioned a considerable auxiliary out of Indigenous peoples.
Between December 2012 and February 2013 Canada’s eco-Aboriginal auxiliary briefly showed its fangs in an aborted uprising operating under the banner “Idle No More.”
This posting (the first of a series dealing with the green wing of Canada’s Aboriginal Industry) revisits the Idle No More episode with a focus on the roles played by: a supportive mass media; compliant police executives; and corrupt, extremist Aboriginal elites.
