A Tribe Called Red cancels performance at CMHR

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights host a festival Saturday, but last-minute changes are being made to the performance line-up.

A Tribe Called Red dropped out of Saturday’s festivities for RightsFest.

The museum said the group is upset over the way it presents indigenous issues.

In an email statement, the CMHR said, "We know that building dialogue and earning trust is a long-term process, and we hope this will again be an opportunity for respectful conversation on issues that historically haven't been easy to talk about."

The museum says it extended an invitation to A Tribe Called Red to tour the CMHR at their convenience to experience the full exhibit content dedicated to Indigenous perspectives and issues.
