DANCING IN PROTEST

Why do we dance?Historically dances helped to heal relationships

It is difficult to be angry when you are dancing together

Dancing to heal the waterDancing to heal relationships

The Round Dance is a ceremonial dance given to us by the Anishinabeg people

It’s purpose is to heal It is a prayer to the Creator for healing It asks our ancestors for the wisdom to reveal what we need to do to heal

UNITY SONG

• Song was given to the Indigenous people of North America by those involved in the American Indian Movement

• AIM started in 1968 as an Indigenous Advocacy Group

• The song was given to unify Native Americans in their common concerns.

• The song is spiritual • It cannot be recorded because it is a sacred song

• It represents a different way of resisting than the Idle No More round dance song

IDLE NO MORE ROUND DANCE

• This song calls people from all nations to come together to dance

• It is meant to include both Indigenous and Non-Indigenous people• “We are all facing threats to our survival if we do not stand together. Our

water and lands must be protected for our future generations. For this reason, we must be Idle No More”

• “We did not inherent this land from our ancestors, we only borrow it from our children”

• “If we do not heal our relationship with settler society, then we will remain divided, allowing others to choose our fate for us”

This song and dance can be recorded
