The Long Ride Home

February 1, 2020

Powered only by their spirit, a brave group of natives set off on a 600 mile horse ride to bring awareness to the inter generational trauma their people have endured since colonization.

Braving the odds as a pandemic has struck the world, a courageous group of Indigenous Canadians continue on the four year horse ride they began a year prior. They are pushing to bring awareness to the over-representation of Indigenous children in care and the adults who lost their way as a result of the residential school system and of inter-generational trauma.
