Innu People: Elizabeth Penashue and Walrus Foundation

innu people: In many instances, Canada's Indigenous peoples were removed from their homes and the very same thing has happened to refugees around the world, according to CBC. They have been forcibly removed from their homes whether it is a political crisis, an economic crisis or any other type of crisis that they've had to leave, not because they've wanted to, but because they've had to, she explained. Pakistani Canadian Sadia Rafiquddin says there are more similarities between the two groups than differences. At a talk tonight sponsored by the Walrus Foundation, in partnership with the Order of Canada, Rafiquddin will speak about her own personal experience about connecting with Innu elder Elizabeth Penashue. Elizabeth Penashue has long been an advocate for the Innu people. Penashue, from Labrador, walks more than 200 kilometres every year to her birthplace inside the Mealy Mountains.
