Commemorative walkers return home to feast
The Residential School system created a dynamic rift between children, parents and even grandparents.
On Saturday, June 25, some of the victims of residential schools made it home to their families and for their families, on their own accord.
Their journey started a few days ago, when they walked away from their former school, a place which they said housed so many bad memories for them.
Since June 21, the walkers have made stops in Little Red River, Montreal Lake, and Weyakwin, before making the last stop for many on the journey, in La Ronge. On Sunday, June 26 a smaller group will be headed to Stanley Mission, where there will be a feast and celebration for those returning survivors.
