Ottawa 
Events Description
The Indigenous Walking Tours (IWT) will explore Ottawa downtown monuments, art, architecture and landscape through an Indigenous perspective. These exceptional tours present a unique opportunity to learn the impact and presence of Indigenous People’s history in our city.
The IWT leader, artist and educator Jaime Morse has been organizing these knowledge sharing events since 2014. Jaime is a proud Metis originally from Lac la Biche, a Buffalo Lake Metis settlement in Alberta. She has a background in Canadian studies and art. Over the years, she’s proudly led tours at the National Gallery for First Nations youth, sharing Indigenous stories with the next generation. Jaime and her partner, Réjean Demers provide a comfortable space for the community to enjoy the tour and can deliver the information in both English and French (AM tours). They have included thoughtful considerations to make the tour accessible for People with disabilities, the youth, older adults and newcomers to the city.
The tours will be held on every other Saturday from May through October, with book themed tours on indicated days. Please select which day you are attending the tour.
