    Indigenous Walks is a 90-minute guided walk and talk through downtown Ottawa. Together, we explore monuments, art, architecture, and landscape — all through an Indigenous lens.

    The Indigenous Walking Tour will be led by Jaime Morse, a Cree-Metis woman from Lac La Biche Alberta. Jaime has lived, worked, and raised her children on Anishinaabe Algonquin Territory, also known as Ottawa. 
    She is the founder and owner of Indigenous Walks.
