Mi'kmaki Water Walk underway around the Bay of Fundy

The Mi'kmaki Water Walk is underway around the Bay of Fundy. The 40-day, 994-kilometre ceremonial walk began May 24. It's in honour of water as a sacred life force. Walkers started in Overton, N.S., near Yarmouth, and it will end in Blacks Harbour, N.B. Ducie Howe is a Mi'kmaw grandmother from the Sipekne'katik First Nation and she's leading the walk. CBC's Information Morning Halifax spoke with her on Thursday when she was in Brooklyn, N.S. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
