Innu Meshkenu
Innu Meshkenu is a walk undertaken by the first aboriginal surgeon in Québec, Stanley Vollant.[1] This 6,000-kilometre (3,700 mi) walk passes through all the aboriginal communities in the eastern Canada.[2] The walk started in the Fall of 2010 and was expected to last for five years. As of April 2016, the walk was nearing an end.[3]
Stanley Vollant walks sometimes alone, sometimes with other Aboriginal or non-Aboriginal walkers.[4]
The name "Innu Meshkenu" comes from Innu language and means "The Innu trail".[5]
The objectives of Innu Meshkenu
Innu Meshkenu aims at raising Aboriginal people's awareness concerning two main points : school perseverance and healthy life habits. The project also attempts to enhance Aboriginal cultural identity.[5] In order to reach those objectives, Stanley Vollant stops in schools and other gathering places in the communities that he visits and meet people of all ages.
