[OSList] [aoh] Consider supporting Idle No More

[Chris Corrigan]

Thank you all for the donations and for keeping us in our thoughts. 

There are thousands of original names for the places that are now Canada. In fact some if these leaders I am working with make it their work to put these names back on the land. 

Cool times friends!

Chris
