Algonquin-Anishinabeg Nation: Rockcliffe Residence and Algonquin People

algonquin-anishinabeg nation: German Ambassador Werner Wnendt says the gesture is to remind everybody who is visiting us and there are many people, of course that this is where we are, according to CBC. This is the territory of the Algonquin people. The flags of the Algonquin-Anishinabeg Nation and the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan were installed in a special ceremony Tuesday evening, and are now a permanent fixture inside the Rockcliffe residence. Wnendt was inspired to honour area First Nations as he became familiar with their history and culture after he arrived in Canada to take his post as ambassador. CBC I came to Canada, to this great country with its multicultural population, around five years ago, and have been reaching out that's what an ambassador does, of course to people, Wnendt told host Hallie Cotnam on CBC Radio's Ottawa Morning Wednesday. Werner Wnendt is Germany's ambassador to Canada. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
