What is it about?
As Against the Day's section editor for this SAQ issue I provide a short introduction of the collection of essays, framing Idle No More as an Indigenous feminist decolonizing project.

Why is it important?
The introduction gives a brief background to the origins of INM and identifies the essays as part of the Indigenous feminist project each of the authors is engaged in. For readers unfamiliar with INM it provides context for better understanding each of the essays.
Perspectives
When I was asked to edit the Against the Day section of this issue I was unaware that the entire issue was dedicated to 1970's feminisms. I was delighted to see that it was. As Indigenous scholars argue, Indigenous feminism is distinctly different from mainstream feminism so it is fitting that an entire section is dedicated to Indigenous perspectives via Idle No More.
