ABOUT THE ONAMAN COLLECTIVE All money raised will be going to ONAMAN COLLECTIVE. Onaman Collective is a collective of three Indigenous artists who are interested in helping Indigenous communities, particularly Anishinaabeg youth, with reclaiming the richness and vibrancy of their heritage including languages, arts and culture. Our collective combines land-based contemporary art creation with traditional arts, anishinaabemowin immersion, and Elders and traditional knowledge and land based practices including the operation of our year round language camp for youth and Elders on the land called Nimkii Aazhibikong.
ABOUT OTTAWA PUNK NIGHTS Ottawa Punk Cover Nights started in 2008. These nights are a community thing, not run by one person, but run by the punks. We do this to pay tribute to our favourite punk bands of the past, to lose our voice from singing along to classic gems, raise money for grass-root and non-for-profit organizations and causes, and to simply rage and have fun with all of our friends! We've raised money for Exile Infoshop, Kids Help Phone, SPCA of Western Quebec, Pussy Riot Legal Defense Fund, The Tool Shed/Aids Committee of Ottawa, Teja's Animal Refuge, Friendly Giants Dog Rescue, The Door Youth Centre, Rock Camp For Girls, Campaign For Safer Consumption Sites, Ottawa Sucks: Ottawa's Underground 2002-2005, Daisy’s Drop-in Centre, Khalida Jarrar/Palestinian woman prisoners, Evelyn Young Womens Emergency Shelter, The Ticket Defense Program (TDP), and Somerset West's NESI (Needle Exchange Safer Inhalation) Peer Program.
