The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) Executive released a statement Wednesday declaring that they oppose the trucker convoy and cultural appropriation.
The statement comes after videos of protesters playing Indigenous drums in
Ottawa hit social media this week.
“The FSIN Executive strongly opposes the actions and tactics of the ‘Freedom Convoy’ protestors, some of whom have been openly sharing ignorant acts of cultural appropriation of First Nations culture and spirituality, publicly and online, read the statement.
The FSIN condemns such open acts of racism and ignorance, which are being committed across our traditional Treaty territories.
