Wednesday was a big day for a Cree girl as she took her first steps on Parliament Hill in what is known as a Cree “walking out” ceremony.
Six-month-old Annora Crowe held her parents’ hands as she emerged from a teepee under the shadow of the Peace Tower in Ottawa on Wednesday and took her first steps.
Annora and her parents walked around a small tree placed on top of pine and cedar boughs as elder Sarah Ottereyes performed a welcoming song.
