Walking is Medicine -- Film Description:
"Walking is Medicine is the story of the Nishiyuu walkers, six young Cree men who decided to trek 1600 km from Whapmagoostui, Quebec, to Ottawa, in the spirit of their ancestors, whose traditions were to travel long distances in the winter because the rivers and lakes are frozen. This was an effort to meet with so many different nations from across the country and to be part of a new beginning."
