Tuesday night's Ottawa Senators game against the L.A. Kings was more than just a hockey game.

Indigenous traditions and culture were on display throughout the Canadian Tire Centre and woven throughout the game, all part of the fourth annual Indigenous Peoples Appreciation Night.

Community elder and Chancellor of the University of Ottawa, Claudette Commanda performed traditional smudging ceremonies for Senators players and fans. Aaron Robinson, the Senators' director of fan and community development, says this event a key part of giving back to a community too often overlooked.

The Sens invited community members, elders, artisans, community groups and performers from Awkesasne, Kitigan Zibi, Que., Lac Simon, Que., Maniwaki, Que., Ottawa, Pikwakanagan, Rapid Lake, Que. and Elsipogtog, N.B., with a special focus on the Algonquin Anishinaabeg Nation, the ancestral un-ceded land the Canadian Tire Centre was built on.
