The spiritual and political mobilization opposed proposed federal legislation threatening treaties, land and resource rights. It presented Indigenous peoples as nations defending sovereignty, rather than merely individuals seeking inclusion. Ceremonies and public education joined political organizing in challenging the continuing structures of settler colonialism.
