Members of the Native American community drum and sing as they march to the Capitol on Friday to show their support for the "Idle No More" movement taking place in Canada. The growing indigenous rights movement held gatherings on Friday in dozens of cities across Canada, the U.S., and in various countries around the world to bring attention to the tribal rights and environmental issues in Canada.

You're a real piece of work!

LibHater - They care enough to take time off from their job to help show support. Do you think they don't have jobs just because they are Native? You are part of a problem, not a solution!

libhater - a hint

Maybe you haven't considered that some of the folks are at work while attending this protest, the first so-called flash mob was during working hours and there were quite a few employees of Sealaska Heritage Institute.

Tell me libhater, are you at work and spending your employer's time cruising the internet or unemployed too?

Wow, a whole five

Wow, a whole five "protesters"!

Now Empire, next time they pop up with one of their drum circles, pull a couple of them aside and ask some probing questions. Start with "why are you here?".

Curious minds want to know.

I have to say someone spent a fair amount of time on that sign.

haters

@Libhater, there are always people like you that just hate Native Americans. Based on your comments, you know no nothing about Native Americans in general. I doubt that you are even capable of defending what you say, so far, all I read, is garbage in, and garbage out, from you.

really

Unpublished

isnt the truth behind this "movement" all about first nations being compensated for big business screwing up the environment? Lets get back to the point.

@rayuser

libhater doesn't just hate Native Americans, he hates liberals and the 47% Romney couldn't reach -- those serving in the military, veterans, social security retirees, the disabled, etc.

libhater thinks he (and conservatives) are the only hard working folks around, another angry older white man that is the new face of the GOP, the same GOP that is out of touch with the mainstream of the US (women, urban areas, etc.).

Maybe libhater should shorten the nym to "hater."
