Stanley Vollant walking.

Innu Meshkenu is a walk undertaken by the first surgeon in Québec, Stanley Vollant.' This 6000 kilometers walk passes through all the aboriginal communities in the eastern Canada. The walk started in 2010 and will last for five years.

Sometimes, Stanley Vollant walks alone, sometimes with other Aboriginal or non-Aboriginal walkers.

The name "Innu Meshkenu" comes from innu language and means "The innu trail".

The objectives of Innu Meshkenu

Innu Meshkenu aims at raising Aboriginal populations' awareness concerning two main points : school perseverance and healthy life habbits. The project also attempts to enhance the Aboriginal cultural identity. In order to achieve those objectives, Stanley Vollant stops in schools and other gathering places in the communities that he visits and meets people of all ages.
