  • Interview with Gordon Matthews (Cree Nation of Wemindji) and Nathalie Mathias (Algonquin, Anishinabe First Nation of Lac Simon), both of whom joined the Journey of the Nishiyuu, a two month-long, 1,500 km journey on foot from the roadless far north of Quebec all the way to Ottawa in support of Idle No More. Now reaching almost 200 walkers, the group will be arriving in Ottawa on March 25. Media Mornings caught up with several walkers on the road.
