They have been studying about Indian Residential Schools. They decided to do a pilgrimage walk from Stoney Knoll to Edmonton in time for the final truth and reconciliation national gathering. They wanted to publicize the reality of the Chipewyan First Nations, who were originally given a reserve in the Laird area but then had it taken from them by the federal government, a practice that took place many times. They hope that their walk will help contribute to the Chipewyan First Nations' action to finally get a new reserve.

They arrived in Maidstone on the evening of March 22 at the Maidstone United Church were Daphne McLaren and Rev. Ean Kasper provided supper.

We wish them well on their walk the rest of the way to Edmonton.
