Walking with our Sisters moccasin tops made a stop in Wembley on Thursday
The commemorative art installation Walking with our Sisters began its journey across the country yesterday. It made a stop at the Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum, where it was greeted with a surprise flash pow wow.
The piece is for the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women of Canada and the U.S.
Omarla Cooke, Media Relations with Walking with our Sisters Grande Prairie and Area, says this is very significant to the Indigenous community as it is a way to bring awareness to the topic.
“So, it has travelled for the last bit throughout communities just to bring that awareness, that communication, and that conversation about having this not be part of our society anymore.”
