Today's episode features stories from Brett Merchant who, along with his dog Kura, are walking the entire length of HIghway 16 in BC to draw attention to its tragic history. Highway 16 is also known as the Highway of Tears. I collected several stories from Brett while he visited Moricetown last week, on his way through.
Brett is raising funds to provide shelter opportunities for young indigenous women along this well-travelled road. To assist with this worthy cause, visit www.gofundme.com/highwayoftears
