TUNGASUVVINGAT INUIT STATEMENT – TRUCKER PROTEST EFFECT ON VULNERABLE COMMUNITY IN DOWNTOWN OTTAWA

February 3, 2022

OTTAWA, ON – Tungasuvvingat Inuit (TI) recognizes the unceded traditional territory of the Algonquin Anishinabeg Nation that allows us to provide programming and services to the urban Inuit community. TI has worked on behalf of the urban Inuit community for nearly 35 years in Ottawa and today, we add our support to the Algonquins of Pikwaknagan, Kitigan Zibi and the Algonquin Nation Tribal Council in opposition to the “Freedom Convoy Protest” using cultural practices of Indigenous people in ceremonies.
