Indigenous Peoples' Solidarity Movement Ottawa (IPSMO)
Newsletter February 8, 2010


============================================================================

The Indigenous Peoples’ Solidarity Movement Ottawa acknowledges that the
city of Ottawa exists on unceded Omàmìwinini (Algonquin) territory.

IPSMO is a grassroots organization that directly supports ndigenous
peoples in diverse struggles for justice. We also work within communities
to challenge the lies and half-truths about indigenous peoples
and colonization that dominate Canadian society. IPSMO is open to both
indigenous and non-indigenous peoples, and focuses on local and regional
campaigns.
