Clayton Thomas Muller – The Canadian Native Rights Movement | Bioneers

Bioneers | Published: October 27, 2017 Environmental EducationIndigeneityYouth Video

Clayton Thomas-Muller, a leading organizer for Idle No More and Defenders of the Land, and a Co-Director of Polaris Institute’s Indigenous Tar Sands Campaign, portrays Canada’s rising Native-led rights-based movement, supported by labor, civil society, students and grassroots groups. It’s challenging the neo-liberal free market agenda that has turned Canada into a petro-state. It may be our last best effort to save our lands and the health of our people from the extractive industries and the banks that finance them.

This speech was given at the 2014 Bioneers National Conference.
