The Idle No More movement is gaining momentum in First Nations communities across Canada.
The movement began with four women in Saskatchewan, to raise awareness about the latest Omnibus budget: Bill C-45
The bill includes changes to the Indian Act that make it easier for aboriginal people to sell land to non-First Nations.
It also changes the Navigable Waters Act, which removes thousands of lakes and streams from federal protection.
Friday, a big rally took place in Ottawa with support rallies throughout the country.
Lisa Luscombe is one of the organizers of the Cranbrook rally.
