Although Linda Hogan published Solar Storms in 1995, I am reminded of her text when I read about the digitally propelled eco-indigenous movement called Idle No More a decentralized movement that uses social media such as twitter, facebook, and blogs to protest and educate both indigenous and non-indigenous about the threats to the environment, and ultimately to all life.

I am interested in examining how this movement is using digital communication to teach and create identity, as well as to express dissent.
