Pikangikum

On Jan. 28, Idle No More (INM) supporters convened at Parliament Hill in Ottawa for what was called the INM National Day of Action. Cheryl Suggashie of Pikangikum First Nation, and her friends from her university’s jingle dress program made the journey down to Ottawa for the protest.

Pikangikum First Nation experienced a weekend with no power after its diesel generators were overwhelmed by energy demand as winter approaches.

Pikangikum residents spent last weekend with no power as the community's generators were overwhelmed by the demand for heat. The community remains on rolling blackouts.
