Border Demonstration Planned

A native demonstration is planned for tomorrow at the border between Fort Frances and International Falls.

Idle No More websites promote the rally as being organized by First Nations on the American side of the border.

They're gathering in support of Attawaspikat Chief Teresa Spence and Canadian aboriginals wanting Prime Minister Harper to meet with the hunger-striking chief.

Organizers don't state if their plans include blocking or slowing motorists trying to cross.

It's expected to begin at about 1 p.m.
