The Warriors Walk for Healing Nations, a movement that started in the Yukon, arrived in Prince George for a couple of days.
A small group of people from the Northern Nations Alliance started walking from Whitehorse a month ago (on June 26), and have been making their way to Kamloops.
“Northern Nations Alliance is a completely volunteer group that does respond to crisis. Sometimes that crisis may be fire, sometimes that crisis may be flooding, and in this circumstance, it was the response to the 215 children that were discovered in Kamloops,” said Jacqueline Shorty, member of the Northern Nations Alliance.

Lheidli T’enneh Chief Dolleen Logan has responded to the notice that multiple Canadian Indigenous leaders are heading to Italy to ask Pope Francis for an apology for the residential schooling system, on behalf of the catholic church.
She is now demanding that Pope Francis come to Canada and make a formal apology to the families that have been impacted by the school system.
More specifically, she is calling on the leader to come to the two locations where bodies have recently been discovered, one in Kamloops and the other at the former Marieval Indian Residential School located east of Regina, Saskatchewan.
