<jats:p> A growing body of research points to how social media, and specifically Twitter, is emerging as a hybrid space where citizens are involved in the flow, framing, and interpretation of news. Our study analyzes 743,365 tweets at the height of the Idle No More movement, from December 2012 to January 2013. Our analysis indicates a significant presence of non-elite and indigenous actors among the most influential voices on Twitter. We argue that #IdleNoMore produces a kind of “middle ground,” where the strengths of actors on all sides offset each other and demand articulations and accountability for explanations and descriptions. This middle ground offers a space where collective identity emerges in part through a process we are terming “resonance,” when actors articulate Idle No More-related messages and are subsequently retweeted. </jats:p>
