The indigenous-led "Idle No More" movement in Canada has called a new global day of action for January 28 following a series of events on Friday around the world. Organizers say more than 130 actions were held in Canada and worldwide in solidarity with Idle No More’s call for political transformation, indigenous rights and environmental justice. A key figure in the movement, Chief Theresa Spence, was due to meet with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other First Nations leaders, but pulled out of the meeting over the exclusion of Canada’s Governor General and in solidarity with Friday’s protests. Spence remains on a liquid diet-only hunger strike.
