A university student walks to raise awareness of Indian Act

APTN National News
In B.C. – a university student is walking across the country hoping to raise awareness about the Indian Act.

He says the Act has chained aboriginal people to the past… and kept them from succeeding.

And he’s making his point, by bringing along a surprising companion.

APTN’s Tina House caught up with the walker on a B.C. highway.
