AFN Assembly of First Nations Canada Idle No More Mohawk Warriors Oka Pacifism Resistance
"What happened with Idle No More is that as it progressed, they also revealed very, very reformist politics. They started out wanting to stop Bill C-45. They began imposing all kinds of codes of conduct on people people who were attending Idle No More rallies. They’re imposing a pacifist ideology on this grassroots movement and strict legalism."

"Traitors are worse than the enemy, the lowest of the low. Every culture loathes them. They help foreign governments overthrow, make war against and seriously injure their own people. They undermine us from within.'

AFN AMC Assembly of First Nations Band Councils Canada Co-optation Colonialism First Nations Idle No More
"Band councils were imposed under the Indian Act not to unite our people, or to lead them in resistance, but to control them, to administer government policies, and to suppress any genuine grassroots resistance from emerging. This in itself was an act of division which created a special managerial class of Natives and led to the growth of an Aboriginal business elite whose interests are not in accord with those of real grassroots people."
"The very idea that any one group of people can dictate the methods, tactics, strategies and objectives is itself contrary to the nature of genuine grassroots movements. They are comprised of diverse individuals and groups, self-organized in an autonomous and decentralized manner. Just like many of our peoples were, prior to colonization and the imposing of the Indian Act."
