Cree youth who walked to Ottawa celebrated online

Idle No More


It is said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step – and in the case of a determined group of young people from the James Bay Cree community, that adage is quite literally true.

The Journey of Nishiyuu, which means The Journey of the People in Cree, began in Whapmagoostui, Que. several weeks ago and came to an end on Monday.

Seven walkers -- six young people and a 49-year-old guide master -- left their homes in January determined to walk all the way to the nation's capital.
