[Indigenous Peoples' Solidarity Movement -Ottawa]

Indigenous Peoples' Solidarity Movement Ottawa (IPSMO) Newsletter 
February 27, 2010

The Indigenous Peoples’ Solidarity Movement Ottawa acknowledges Ottawa
exists on unceded Omàmìwinini (Algonquin) territory.  IPSMO is
a grassroots organization that directly supports indigenous 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.
