With the scent of sage drifting across the gentle breeze, Krista Fox read name after name after name of individuals and their families she will think of often as she walks across the country.
Each year since, Fox has walked the 100 kilometres from North Battleford to Saskatoon in honour of the close family friend.
The Saskatoon woman hopes to make noise until there are answers, even if it’s not for her family.
So the pair found themselves at the start of the Trans-Canada Highway where Lekwungen drummers and myriad community members welcomed them and their team – laying a solid foundation for the walk to start.
