630 km of walking on foot.  44 days of fasting on nothing but tea. A mission to compassionately spread awareness about the suicide rates in the northern regions of Canada. On Episode 15, I speak with Metis activist and fiddler Tristen Durocher as he shares on the adventure of his 2020 summer, his experience growing up in a Northern Metis community, and his perspective on the relationship between Christianity and his Indigenous heritage. With a story that transcends political parties or religious affiliations, Tristen is one of the most gracious, yet also passionate, people I have had the chance to speak with - ever.
