The strength of todays protest demonstrates the growing shift in consciousness around issues of Indigenous representation. As we come up on the second anniversary of the first Idle No More teach in, there are now more and more Indigenous voices entering and changing discourses on mascots, land claims, and historical events. Thanks to social and alternative media, we now have the opportunity to tell our own stories, rather than someone speaking for native people and claiming they know what honors us. Snyder and the Washington team are fighting a losing battle. At this point, its clear that the issue wont simply go away. Our voices and resistance are only growing stronger. - The International Native American Memorial
