Annie

Poetry/Spoken Word by Adele Keyes

Adele Keyes created, performed and sent this song to the National Inquiry. The song is about the suspicious death of Annie Pootoogook, an Innu artist from Cape Dorset, Nunavut who was found in the Rideau River in Ottawa on September 19, 2016 in what police declared as a suspicious death. Adele wrote the song in honour of Annie, the legacy she left behind, and the questions that remain concerning her tragic passing.
