The Steps Toward Reconciliation group in Altona took nearly 50 people to Dominion City Sept. 30 to take part in the community’s five-mile walk to the Roseau River Anishinaabe First Nation to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and honour the survivors of residential schools and those who never came home. STR member Dorothy Braun estimated there were a couple hundred walkers this year, from all over the region. The walk was followed by lunch at Ginew, a friendship dance, and a powwow showcase. It was, Braun shared, “a very meaningful day for all.”
