Indigenous Walks: Indigenous Presence in Downtown Ottawa

Indigenous Walks is a walk-and-talk tour through downtown Ottawa exploring artworks, monuments, architecture, and landscape from an Indigenous perspective. This tour explores the ideas of third spaces and what that could mean for truth and reconciliation. It considers Indigenous Peoples relationship with the land and how "third places" exist within the context of first peoples' territories.

As noted, we will be indoors for a short period at the beginning of the walk.
