The annual trip which Chief Donny Morris has been making for several years is an opportunity for young people from the community as well as neighbouring communities to gain experience and develop skills in wilderness survival. Many stories, history of the region and traditional activities are shared along this traditional route. Working as a group within this wilderness setting supports everyone in maintaining their strong connections and respect for the land and the region.
