To the speakers......Thank you so much for this! I’m sitting here in total amazement. My husband and I have not been able to do much of the trial as of yet but hope to in the future. There is no other feeling like walking on trail. Is there a prayer for thanks and permission to hike on the trail? Much respect..... Beth & Frank

Hello Beth & Frank - Thank you for watching! We asked one of our speakers your question and they said that one of the ways folks can pay their respect to the land is by giving thanks from their heart. If you are curious about what lands you may be on, Native Lands Digital (native-land.ca/) is a start for finding more information about those that live and lived on the lands before the Trail existed. Hope this helps!
