Idle No More is a decentralized Indigenous sovereignty and environmental-mobilization case centered on treaty obligations, land and water, and resistance to unilateral policy. It is valuable for studying cultural identity, networked leadership, sovereignty claims, and the difference between political recognition and inherent-rights frameworks. This profile treats organization, coercion, repression, legitimacy, state response, and outcome as historical variables—not moral shorthand.

Coverage class: Indigenous-led civil resistance / sovereignty advocacy. BuiltToResist does not use violent/nonviolent, armed/unarmed, extremist, insurgent, or legal designation as a credibility or inclusion test. Those fields describe what actors did and how authorities classified them; they do not decide whether the case belongs in the research corpus.
This profile is synthesized from the 2026 Revolutionary Knowledge expansion corpus. Campaign-cycle descriptions are historical research snapshots, not recruitment or tactical guidance. Current legal or political status should be reverified before present-tense reuse.
