Three People Making Trek To Ottawa On Foot

Three members of the Attawapiskat First Nation are walking to Ottawa to deliver a key message.
Danny Metatawabin, Brian Okimaw and Paul Mettina are on foot to encourage the government to work together to address and reconcile several Aboriginal issues.
According to a statement posted by Metatawabin on Facebook, they are walking from the “traditional territories of the people” to deliver a message to the leaders of both levels of Government and to Chiefs that the time to honour treaties is now.
The Attawapiskat walkers are supported by helpers carrying supplies on snowmobiles.
