When she left her friend and son, Amber decided to hitchhike into the city and was picked up by an unknown man.

Annie Pootoogook was a renowned Inuit artist from Cape Dorset, Nunavut whose body was found in the Rideau River near Bordeleau Park in Ottawa on September 19, 2016. Annie's death was treated as suspicious, but not enough evidence was found to build a case that has led to justice. Annie’s loved ones responded when an Ottawa Police officer made racist social media comments connected to Annie’s story.
