Description

When discussing what role pilgrimage plays in Indigenous religious life, we focus on how religion is relations and movement is a means of relating to Land and Waters across traditional territories. From this relational perspective, sacred places are storied places where nationhood and peoplehood are affirmed, and where visiting can happen.
