To promote Indigenous cultural heritage, Dr. Stanley Vollant set out on the Innu Meshkenu (My Innu Path), a 6 000-km walk that passed through Indigenous communities across eastern Canada. This initiative inspired a multitude of Indigenous and non- Indigenous walkers to join him, but more than that, it encouraged an entire generation of young people to stay in school and pursue their dreams.
