Native protesters take part in an Idle No More march at the Peace Arch border crossing between Canada and the US in Surrey, British Columbia Jan 5, 2013. The protest movement continues after Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced he would meet with a delegation of First Nations chiefs, including Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence next week. His meeting, which will discuss social and economic issues, is an olive branch to an aboriginal movement that has blockaded rail lines and threatened to close Canada's borders with the US.[Photo/Agencies]
