The Lhoosk’uz Dene Nation Elder will be walking from Kluskus to the site of St. Joseph’s Mission once again
Archie Chantyman is taking another walk from Kluskus to the site of the former St. Joseph’s Mission Indian Residential School where he was interned in his youth.
Last year’s walk took 29 days to get to to just south of Williams Lake and back to Kluskus.
Chantyman said his goal is to move reconciliation forward. Part of the goal is to honour children, he said as he referenced the 215 anomalies found at the site of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.
