Treaty Walk3/18/2020 I believe that treaty walks should not be a form of completing a checklist, but to experience daily throughout our lives. I believe a treaty walk is any kind of connection with the treaty people, through a form of spiritual connection with the land.
The treaty walk I chose to participate in this week was around Wascana lake. This walk took about 35 minutes, and allowed me to gain connect with the land of the treaty people. Around Wascana lake you can find the four directions sculpture it connects to the medicine wheel, "which reflects the positive forces in life related to mother earth (Wascana Center, 2020)". One highlight that I experienced during my treaty walk is over looking treaty 4 land on Wascana hill. While on Wascana hill, you can see a great amount of the City of Regina. I really felt at peace and that I had a great connection with the earth as I walked the trails along Wascana Lake. This is a treaty walk that I will definitely want to re-encounter, and would recommend this walk to other's wishing to experience a treaty walk. "A strong communion with the spirit of all aspects of the earth provides a unique perceptual lens through which all activities of daily life become an expression of spirit (Kaminski, 2016)".
