The Idle No More movement continues to spread across Canada and the rest of the world; it has declared that it’s here to stay. There have been round dances in intersections and malls across Turtle Island (North America). Here’s a flash round dance held a week ago in the Mall of America; think about the symbolism of that!

350 or bust 
I can’t decide whether the number of people recording the event (clearly a great many, since the few we can see in the clip must be only a fraction of the total) instead of joining in is a good thing, or a bad thing…
Notice also the slogan, “The Next Big Thing Is Here” above the mob? With the momentum of the Idle no More Campaign, this seems appropriate! 🙂
No I hadn’t noticed, Michelle, that’s great! You get this week’s “most observant reader” award!
A famous Aussie poem begins . . .There was movement at the station for the word had passed around/ that the colt from old Regret had got away / he had joined the wild bush horses, he was worth a thousand pound / and all the cracks had gathered to the fray. . . .go have a look at the poem. THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER It does have a remarkably stirring quality. For some reason this post and the video just reminds me of this poem. Go figure!
Re: ‘The man from snowy river’ — Thank you for the recommendation 🙂
I LOVE Man From Snowy River. We had both part one & two of the movies on VHS, but haven’t seen them on NetFlix yet. Thanks for the reminder to check again!
Oh that’s nice. Yes your post just brought it to mind for me for some strange reason. Love & Light
