Idle No More Protest Retraces History in Montreal Streets

The protest marked the 250th anniversary of the signing of Treaty of Paris, which recognized native treaty rights to land when it outlined France’s forfeiting of its North American territories to England.

Calling it more of a “walk” than a demonstration, Dupuis said retracing history was the major focus of the event.

An all-ages group of demonstrators supporting the Idle No More movement weaved through downtown Montreal by the dozens Sunday afternoon.
