Mishkeegogamang First Nation walks to remember the murdered missing – Toronto Star
Last spring, a group of walkers left Mishkeegogamang First Nation to begin a 650-km journey of remembrance for the murdered and the missing.
THUNDER BAY—The sharp scent of wet cedar hangs in the air along the shoulder of Highway 599.
Pavement gives way to rock, clay and dirt. Walkers cling to the shoulder as if to stay grounded on a precarious shoreline on the banks of a winding river. One wrong step can mean a stumble onto the highway and into the path of a logging truck thundering past.
Last spring, a group of walkers left Mishkeegogamang First Nation — a community deep inside the fir trees where the Albany River meets Lake St. Joseph — to begin a walk of remembrance.
