example in which Canadians continually took advantage of the minority. Accordingly, the
measures of ethnic and racial supremacy resulted in the oppression in regards to Aboriginal
rights and values. The lead up of Canadian legacy consisted of the constant integration and
imposing of the colonizing countries’ practices in order to force a process of assimilation.
Accordingly, protest movements such as Idle No More seeks to ensure that the aboriginal
community and their members are not being taken advantage of. In specific, the movement

expands the forms of indigenous protesting, and created unanimity between environmentalists
