The words this is just wrong echoed in my mind walking 14 kilometers through the barren, industrialized landscape in the heart of the Alberta tar sands last Saturday.

It is hard to take in the scope of destruction that has occurred in the tar sands. The mind can’t connect this toxic wasteland to the boreal forest that used to be alive here. My mind did not make that connection until nearly a week after the Healing Walk. 8221; I didn’t have much to say at the time. Think about statistics. Like in 2010 per day;. Recently.

Take steps together in protecting the land and water through intention and spiritual meditation. Inspired by a quote I came across, "Vamos lentos porque vamos lejos". Can't see the video?

What I Learned at the 4th Annual Tar Sands Healing Walk | Emma Pullman
http://emmapullman.com/tar-sands-healing-walk
Freelance writer and researcher. July 9, 2013. What I Learned at the 4th Annual Tar Sands Healing Walk. Some fifteen years ago, at a Peace Gathering, an elder shared a prophecy. A baby boy would be born in a teepee on a buffalo robe, his birth signalling that now is the time to act. Last Thursday, on the eve of the 4th Annual Healing Walk. Together, we set off on a 14-kilometre walk past tailings lakes, so-called “reclaimed” land and plants. In the words of Clayton Thomas-Muller, a promin...The walk was ...
