Chief Theresa Spence on Make No Bones About It- KAOS 89.3 FM 12-30-2012

As First Nations Chief Theresa Spence’s hunger strike continues, the chief called for weekend solidarity protests from all Canadians to force Prime Minister Stephen Harper to meet with her and other native leaders angered by his policies. While Idle No More protests have been staged in various communities over the past two weeks — a movement aiming to repair existing violations to the treaty relationship — this is the Attawapiskat chief’s first time calling for action. “Her condition continues to weaken every hour and the time has come for increased efforts to gain the support of Canadians and governments in forging this new relationship,“ read a statement released late Friday.
