I study cultural burning, mostly in Australia, Canada and the US. Always looking to learn more.
How he had the presence of mind to articulate the situation so clearly while under attack just boggles my mind.

Spoken, from a rally in Edmonton, Alberta: You are the spark that's starting a fire that will burn across this land. Not only a fire that doesn't burn, but a fire that cleanses, one that ignites in our hearts and creates light. [?] can stop this. Our time now is to be light in the world.

Dear Mr. Harper we all coming to get ya
And we won’t stop for nothin, we’re bringing all of our cousins
And we’re getting educated so the fighting ain’t for nothing
Stand up for your people. Our time for power is coming
I’m a full blooded native, believe me I’m proud of it

CHORUS
November 15, 2025 at 6:35 PM
Before you take a stand, remember to get educated
Once you understand the message, go and share it with your neighbors
Basically, we’re getting taken hostage for our land
‘Til we sell it out for profit, now they got the upper hand
But trust me we can stop it. I’m thanking the four sisters

I’m getting aggravated, my people saying "chill"
I feel my heart breaking, but I don’t need your pills
I need my people strong, with hearts of many men
He letting women die outside of the Parliament
Opposition’s only siding for their benefit
The only ones we really got is us and that's so evident
November 15, 2025 at 6:35 PM
CHORUS
You can lock us in jail and throw away the key
Take away my rights but you ain’t stopping me
‘Cause I been quiet for too long, it's time to speak
We got to stand for something to keep us free
I’m Idle No More
I’m Idle No More
I’m Idle No More
Yeah I’m Idle No More
November 15, 2025 at 6:35 PM
‘Cause it makes it seem like we’re folding under pressure
But we up to bat now, no more playing catcher
‘Cause we see the bigger the picture that we have to capture
See how quick we get together? Man, we out to get ya!

By his ancestors 500 years ago
Yeah I said it, got my people getting restless
Making money off our land and we ain’t even on the guest-list
Carry on traditions of a racist-ass pilgrim
And I know you really love it when my people play the victim

Spoken, from a rally in Edmonton, Alberta: You are a spark that will ignite a thousand more people. We will be one million strong!

My skin's red, I bleed red, I’m seeing red
I’m praying for my people out there who ain't seen it yet
His blood is cold, he’s living lies forever told

native lands and waters. Drezus' moving song and video honor the four women who started the Idle No More movement (Nina Wilson, Sheelah Mclean, Sylvia McAdam Saysewahum and Jessica Gordon), and condemn then-Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

What a gorgeous song! Neneh's voice blends perfectly with the instruments, but why isn't she in the video?

Et qu'ils pourront tirer (And that they can shoot)

French radio banned the song during the Algerian war of 1954-1962, lest other soldiers decide they didn't want to kill or die in the name of French colonialism. Many people have covered the song, including Joan Baez, and I *love* this passionate 2021 interpretation by Tarik.
