No. 4 #elsipogtog – MikMaq sovereignty vs. The Crown/SWN fracking actions – the result was army like tactics, 40 arrests including chief and council, cars burning, and a court case the MikMaq won.

No. 3 #pkols – A reclamation movement that saw Mt. Douglas in BC changed to Pkols, the original name given by the Coast Salish people.

No. 1 #idlenomore – Was there really any doubt? The resurgence of the Indigenous protest movement is back! It can boast the ability to make over 50 protests pop up in a mere 24 hours. Not bad for four girls at a coffee table.
