I chose an article from the United South and Eastern Tribes site
that was about Steven Judd who is part of a movement called #IDLENOMORE (
silent no more). This movement speaks out about the abuse of the Earth and
women. It coupled these two issues together because of the similarity with
women and Mother Earth as being represented as a female. What is a common
misconception of this movement is that it is old and that it is only for the
good of Native Americans. Women of every color and creed are included when
arguing the case of violence against women.
Deborah Parker spoke out at a rally against the abuses that women face.
There is mention of the case Bradley vs
State where it was deemed a man’s right to moderately beat his wife.
What is consistent in
Judds article is that this is not a Native American fight it is for the good of
all mankind. Everyone will benefit from clean water natives and non-natives
alike. His stance is that #IDLENOMORE is not a movement that is temporary, its
here to stay. The cry was against the
Canadian bill C-45, which removed the protection of over 30 thousand lakes
being protected to only 97 lake being protected by the First Nations. “ Its not
a Canada or United States thing. Multinational corporations do not care about
borders and neither should we (web).”
