LAKE HELEN FN – The amazing group of unified Spiritwalkers walked 3.5 km as a powerful spiritual force, from Lake Helen First Nation, and across the Nipigon River Bridge then through the Town of Nipigon.
We then split into three groups to cover the 53 km distance all the way to the community of Pearl.
The group that I was in started at the Tim Hortons in Nipigon to Black Sturgeon River Bridge (17 km). The second group walked from there to Wolf River Bridge (16 km). The third group walked from there to the picnic stop at Pearl (20 km).
Miigwech to Jolene Cote from Lake Helen First Nation, the Nipigon townspeople who supported us, and to the Anishnawbek Police Service with the Ontario Provincial Police who are helping care for us.
It was a very hot day – with 33-celsius under blazing sun conditions on the highway.
The prayer theme for healing today was: suicides in First Nation communities.
Far too many of our people leave this life in that way. Tomorrow will be Day 6, and we will walk 45 km from the community of Pearl to the Terry Fox Memorial & Monument in Thunder Bay. The healing through prayer theme for prayer tomorrow will be “Land, Water & Air.” Miigwech to all Spiritwalkers and supporters (July 19, 2018)
