It’s likely that many Canadians didn’t learn about the stolen land on which the federal government buildings stand on. Why would we? It's not something many Canadians learn about on school field trips. Rumneek (@rumneeek) sat down with two Algonquin scholars to talk about the land, which many Canadians know as the Ottawa-Gatineau area.

Thanks to today's guests: Dr. Veldon Coburn (@VeldonCoburn) from University of Ottawa in their Institute of Indigenous Research studies (@uOttawa) and Dr. Lynn Gehl.
