Idle No More protestors rally in Ottawa

Dozens of First Nations leaders and community members marched from Victoria Island to Parliament Hill to protest the government's approach to First Nations education.
 

According to CBC News, the members of the December 10 protest said the proposed First Nations Education Act does not grant the aboriginal communities enough funding or autonomy. They are asking for more support for on-reserve education.
 

The concern is that the proposed act will not them the freedom to make decisions about their own education.
 

Under the First Nations Education Act, the federal government would ask provinces and other authorities to reach solutions for funding aboriginal education, instead of providing funding themselves.
 

This protest took place a year after the Idle No More movement first began to gather strength.
