Omushkegowuk Walkers

A post after a long while!

Yesterday I had a purely serendipitous moment when I happened to be at the end point of the over-1700 kilometer trek of the Omushkegowuk Walkers who left Attawapiskat in January to raise awareness of treaty rights. It was a very touching sight to see so many people commit to a peaceful action to bring attention to Indigenous rights issues. Here are some photos.
